Hello, my name is Cary. I'm 24 years old and I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes a couple of weeks ago. I'm joining this site in hopes that I can get some help in dealing with my new life. I have so many questions and I don't know where to begin. The "support" staff at the doctor's office seem to act more annoyed than concerned when I ask them for any advice. Anyways, I'm hoping that I can get some advice from some of you, and I hope to eventually be able to give some advice of my own.
I'm finding it really tough to keep my blood sugar down. I've been counting carbs so precisely, yet I can go from a 130 before a meal to 250 despite taking the recommended insulin dosage per carb count. Is my blood sugar always going to be so volatile? I get scared and angry whenever I see anything over 180. This is so frustrating.
