I have had type one for 43 years, and I wear dresses and skirts ALL the time. I,ve’ got on a curt pre-valentine dinner two-piece outfit m ( skirt an sweater )as we speak . And I do, too, like looking cute and adorable, even at 56.
You do not have to experience " fall-out "seizures as a matter of course while injecting insulin. I have had a few in 43 years. less than 10. I know it sounds like your life has just completely turned around but it hasn’t: You will learn and you will adjust to your new life with type one diabetes… You are just in the “why me?” Anger mode right now, and that is to be expected…
I highly recommend the books Using Insulin by John Walsh, and Think like a Pancreas. author is Scheider (sp)? They are filled with helpful deas that doctors and CDE’s may or may not give you.
God Bless,
