At its core, proper type 1 diabetes management is composed of a handful of elements: blood glucose control and insulin management, exercise, nutrition, and support.

If you feel isolated by your diagnosis, reach out to other people who have diabetes. They can provide you with support and tips for managing the emotional and physical challenges of your disease. Don't know anyone who has diabetes? Ask members of your health care team if there is a diabetes support group near you, or look for online diabetes support.
