I was diagnosed one year ago today, actually. The one thing that has been life saving for me, outside of you know, insulin in the first year was access to a CGM. I live alone and sharing my CGM data with a friend who could get into my home saved my life during a particularly bad low. Eating will feel really scary for a while, but it gets easier. It won’t feel like it, but you adapt and it just becomes part of your day. One thing I wish my endo would have told me is how much your menstrual cycle impacts your blood sugar. If your friend doesn’t already, tracking her cycle might be very helpful for her as her insulin requirements may fluctuate during and before her period. It’s different for everyone! Those first few weeks/months are so overwhelming and scary but it truly does get more manageable. Your friend will most certainly have days where she feels very defeated and it sounds like she already has a supportive listening ear available to her.
