Type 1 Diabetes

I am 33 year old female that was just diagnosed with type one diabetes...what happens now? Thank you all for you advice...btw, I am 33 years of age, weigh 115, so I am not overweight and I am a Naturopath, so diet is not an issue. I am just in shock and a little scared...both my Grandfathers died of diabetes...plus, I HATE needles!

Type 1 is treated with insulin replacement therapy—either via subcutaneous injection or insulin pump, along with attention to dietary management, typically including carbohydrate tracking, and careful monitoring of blood glucose levels using glucometers.
