What you feel is normal.The day I knew I think he has been the saddest to me.Then you go to acceptance.Meanwhile, find out and do some kind of exercise ... It's time to take care of yourself.

Good morning @abigail, woman come and you'll see how then every time you get something with your struggle satisfaction will be double.
You have to be strong to fight because you'll see how you can with everything.
Where are you from?Have you received talks from an educator or endo?

@Abigail welcome, all the feelings that you put the most and the least we have spent them with the diagnosis, but life continues and fear should not be an obstacle.Probably receive so much information requires a time for the processing, but calm that you will be more than accustomed to diabetic jargon haha.
Ask what you need and tell us a little more about you

Encourage @abigail !!!!Everything you feel is normal, little by little you will adapt, and you can with it, of course !!!Although now you see it difficult.
My daughter will do in June, a year of her diagnosis, with thirteen years ... if she can, if a lot of children can (even much smaller), and not so children can also;You will also be able to !!!!!You just need time to go.
