I certainly can sympathize with you -I’m 58 and just diagnosed T1D 18 months ago. No signs or symptoms-found during routine visit to doctor.
Started on insulin pen therapy which helped but still didn’t get my A1c down low enough so I went on a pump 4 mos. ago and sometimes it just blows my mind thinking about it.
The ironic part was that a year before, I had gone on a low carb diet and lost 50# in a year. Felt great, looked great and then this happened.
I am still trying to learn this pump thing and it can be frustrating.
Everyone tells me it takes time.
I just met with one of the diabetic Ed nurses yesterday and she said the same. Take it one day at a time.
