Hello my name is Liz, i am 26 yrs old and i just found out that i have type 1 diabetes. I found out when i was in the ER with DKA, thankfuly i am now at home with my kids that i adore. but i am feeling a little overwhelmed. i know that a lot of people have this disease, and that i am not the only one, but no one in my family has it and i dont know a single person that has diabetes. so i guess im just looking for support from people that have gone thru this horrible first week.

Hi, Liz and welcome to the group, I am glad that you are here with us, learning that you have diabetes can be very overwhelming, while I am not a type one, I don't really know how to relate to the things you have facing you, have you been to a dietitian? or a person to educated you on the issues facing a diabetic? if not, then contact your doctor, the local hospital or your local diabetes association, and see if there are some free sessions that you can attend to get better understanding of the illness.

We have a few others in this group, hopefully they will come in and share their experience with you, one of the ladies I know here has two daughters with the type one diabetes.

Carmen
