Hy my new fam , I posted here few days ago. I am newly diagnosed and you all suggested me pretty well on my post. But now I think I have developed this health anxiety things ( shouldn't have looked for cringy influencer) online I guess.

Nonetheless, I wanna ask if my life is really over. I think I have read almost all research article relating to t1d and it's compliancations. 😭 If I had read that much in my uni would have got more GPA I guess. But guys please tell me are influencers really correct? I know now I need therapy which I hate but I will take it. I don't want to live forever like not to 80s. But the way people around me and influencers of t1d shows I think I will be 6ft under soon. Is hba1c 7 good to push complications to 20-25 years but I saw that genes and luck are also the part of this game.

I came across a group in Facebook, type one grit or something like that they were saying another above 5 is doomed 😭I asked my endo he says if I try to keep this that low I will be visiting hospital twice a month. He says 5.5-6.5 is a sweet spot or on rough days 7 is okay as well.

Seeing the encouraging people in this sub , I had pulled my sleeves and thought I will give a good fight back ( knowing we can't win ) but giving up is not in my blood. Sorry if I am sounding like an movie writer but is my life really over ? Am I dying everyday(I know everyone is ) but the way they portray our condition? Won't I be able to travel , accomplish few of my dreams and live for sometime ?

Hy everyone first time posting in here and in Reddit as a whole and never thought I will be posting in type 1 sub . I am newly diagnosed ( 3 week ago) so I guess I am welcomed by you all. I am 24 so this is a total shock to me but I guess this shit can happen to anyone anytime.

Now I need help from you guys. I am quite dedicated person and I have a lot to take care of. I thought I could handle this well as the nurses and doctors were super dilligent about my diagnosis and made me well aware and motivated about my condition. I meet my endo immediately after getting discharged and he told me it's the best time to get diagnoes with t1d but I don't think so.

My mom is sick so I need to take care of her, she is a single mother. Now coming to t1d I searched t1d in Instagram and I got hit by the influencers as every next videos tell about how we are dying everyday. Is that true and If it is how much? Then I am seeing only health videos on my feed . That APOB lpa kind of things as well. I have developed anxiety all of a sudden I don't know why . I asked my endo about those tests he said with you way of living, we will do that in 2-3 years but doctors on social media says that's very important mainly for diabetics.

I don't have many friends all I have is my mom . Then I started searching about life expectancy which I think wasn't a great idea. I haven't searched about this thing in Reddit as I wanted to ask with you all . If I take good care can I avoid compliancations for 2 or 2.5 decades. I don't like to eat anything processed that much I am not a big fan at all. I am on CGM and probably will get pump soon as well. Can I control it till then and what if I like to do with pens will that be possible? And what tests should I carry out yearly, my endo says all my baseline are clear .

As I told I don't have many friends and nobody seems to understand this situation so I am here asking to my new family. I can't be weak Infront of my mom . So as a friend, brother please guide me .

Thank you all in advance.... Sorry if I didn't write it well but hope you guys have understood. Will really appreciate the inputs.
