hi, im 20 from the uk.

I was diagnosed about a month ago as type 1 just been looking on the net trying to find out abit more about diabetes.

Bit confused about the whole thing at the moment. Will be good to see how other people live with it etc :D

Welcome to the forums.
Yep it will be confusing to start with but just take a deep breath and take one day at a time. It does get better honestly.

Welxome izzi!
A few suggestions that I have are: make sure that you choose an endo dr who is both knowledgeabe and compassionate AND make sure you like him/her. Go to a diabetes educator. Listen and ask lots of questions. And work at keeping good control to minimize the risks associated with complications. Take care!
