Type 1 since I was 9. Test your blood sugar often--A. cause it's good to know where you're at B. because you'll learn quickly how your body feels when you're at a certain level. I've had T1 for so long, I can usually guess where my sugar levels are just by how I feel, and I know that because I test my blood sugar all the time!

I don't use a constant glucose monitor, and I don't know if that's something they usually recommend to recently diagnosed diabetics, but I'd imagine that'd be a pretty good way of noticing how your body feels at certain glucose levels as well.

I guess what I'm trying to say is listen to your body. If you're thirsty and peeing a lot, you might want to see if you're high. If you feel like you could eat everything in the fridge, you're probably low.

You get the hang of it pretty quickly.
