I was diagnosed with Type 1 about 18 years ago when I was 19. It's nothing to be ashamed of, though even to this day I hide when I take my shots (4 times a day) and finger sticks. It does force you to live a healthy. more active lifestyle. Just check your eyes and do your bloodwrokd every 2 -3 months. BTW, I know that you're afraid this will affect your job, but many people who take shots don't let it stop them. Former Vikings QB Wade Wilson was a Type 1, and he had to take shots durig half time or on the sidelines. Good luck, and if you hjave any questions PM me.
