New, 15, and type 1
 

So i recently found out i am diabedic, like i found out 3 days ago. My mom rushed me to the er a couple of days ago when i passed out on our couch and started shaking with my eyes rolled back. I dont remember to much, anyways i spent the next 2 days in texas children hospital being poked with way to many needles and having more than enough blood drawn :/ although ill have to deal with this everyday for like ever, im more concerned with my mother, i think shes having a harder time dealing with it, anyways i thought id introduce myself :)

Welcome to the Forum! :)

We are glad that you are here, but we wish that we could have met under different circumstances. Your mom may be having a tough time accepting your diagnosis, but since it sounds like you are adjusting well, be strong and learn well and she will learn much from you. I would advise you to read and study all that you can on this/your disease. Many of us, who have had this for years, are still learning every day. I can tell you that I think that counting carbs, and adjusting your bolus injections to this, is key to well managed T1 diabetes. I hope that your dietitian and endo has already told you this. Good luck with your control and management. If you have questions just ask.

Hi!
When I got diabetes my mom was very upset as well. However I am 14 and got type one when I was 3. Let me tell you, diabetes eventually just becomes apart of your life and it gets a lot easier. Keep your hopes up!

Thanks :)

Hey my story is like urs but I was at a hospital for 4 day n now I'm 17 n doing good n just show ur mom that u can take care of ur self :)

Thats cool, we both are actually adjusting really well i think :) how old were you when you found out?
