In terms of the diabetes, please make sure you get a referral to a hospital diabetes team as you are entitled, as part of this you will get to see a diabetes specialist nurse. 

Do you know what insulin they are going to treat you with? 

I have had type 1 since I was 13, so any advice you might need I am happy to help. (Obviously I can’t provide specific medical advice though).

Hi there 

I'm sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis but at least you can be treated appropriately now for your conditions 

Type 1 diabetes is a surprise as it 8s normally type 2 that occurs in adults in more cases but either way it is hard to come to terms with new conditions and managing them 

We have lots members with these conditions who will be here to support you

That’s more of a misconception. It happens more than you might think. Adults will be diagnosed with a specific type 1 diabetes called LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood)

Thanks for the replying it's me learing to make sure I take my insulin right the nurse we'll show me and then if I am able I well do it myself if not a nurse we'll come in 2 times a day change in my diet to

Yeah don’t worry you will be told everything and shown how to do everything and if you need support they will provide it.

That is sad. Have experienced such situation. I just hope you get well super soon and God blesses you. 

MarkM88

Have they told you when to take it?

I'm glad they'll be sending a nurse until you're comfortable @gizmovinney3169 How are you feeling about it all?

gizmovinney3169

5 to ten minutes after eating and check bloods morning
