As a newly diagnosed girl myself (one year this month) i totally agree with everyone else...

check your sugars alot, before everymeal and before bed atleast...your dr's might tell you to at like 2am too.

keep snacks with your 24/7

rotate, rotate, rotate! i alternate between my side/lovehandle area, my front stomach, and my thighs. but arms are okay, just harder for me, lol.

the other thing is using insulin pens are SO much easier... you can get tiny little needles you can barely feel too.

try really hard to get used to diet sodas... especially in the first few months. white sugar is an annoying habbit, but its easier to kick then you think!

i bet you'll be fine, and going back to school now might actually help a lot beacuse you'll be on a more routine, routine. that helps alot with control.

goodluck, everyone here is so helpful, so dont worry. they all helped me so much when i got diagnosed last year!

oh and one last thing... the hardest part for me was getting back to regular sugar levels, my body was so used to 500+ levels that that didnt feel like a sugar high anymore. thus, 200 felt like a low. but i promise after a few months, that will go away and eventually 100 will feel normal. i was so out of energy even with levels like 300, but that goes away! goodluck again <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I found that yes my shots hurt alot at first. For me it was easier to inject the insulin slowly rather than very fast like they wanted me too. When I injected fast I would get burning all around the area that I was giving the injection. Now I have a pump and I don't feel a thing unless I have placed the infusion set in a bad place.

Also wanted to say this about you feeling crappy and your sugars. Your hugh sugars will definitely make you sick along with other things. I was nauseous, vommiting at times, sleepy and fatigued always, and so on. Also like Kate said if your body is adjusted to high sugars you will feel funny as your blood sugars get more under control. Your body has accepted high as "normal" so you may feel really good or like Kate said like you are having lows even though your sugar is still high. You will start to feel alot better within about a month though I think. I think that is about how long it took me to really notice a difference. My nausea went away almost immediately though - within days.

Take Care,
