Newly diagnosed

Hi

I was diagnosed a week ago, after being admitted for DKA. My sugar was 780mg/dL, and my A1C was 14.0. My kidneys weren't too happy, either.

It's been a day since I was released, and feel incredibly depressed and angry at myself for not catching it sooner.

I've been told to seek a support group, but I don't even know where to begin. I've been reading a bunch of stuff, from the literature I was given, to outdated articles on WebMD.

I'm happy to be alive, but it's all just overwhelming.

If you guys could help me out with some advice, I'd really appreciate it.
