Newcomer and overwhelmed

Hello, new newly diagnosed type 1, disbelief and jug of initial cold water, now assuming it, positive attitude, eager to learn to adapt and take it well, because everything is doubts ....
I have been scoring the insulin supply, but I still have no sensor and I am clicking on my fingers frequently to know how I am ..., without even understanding the alterations of the results.As well as the calculation of HC in meals for insulin doses and not cause hypoglycemia, which worries me.
I have been glad to meet this community, it comforts to feel "accompanied with equals" to exchange information and aids.I will participate when I learn, now I'm very green.
A question, can I acquire the arm sensor, or do I have to wait for the SS to give it to me?I think it would help me a lot to know my metabolization.
Thanking your reading, and any advice that will be very welcome, I wish you happy weekend.

Hi @Joels Welcome!
This is a very different world and each diabetic, in addition there are not two days equal.
Yes, you can buy the sensors directly from Abbott until the Endocrine of the SS assigns them.Rondan 70euros and their batteries last 14 days.But you learn a lot to manage diabetes.

Encourage @joelsa
Here you have us for what you need!I recommend that you buy the sensors ... they will help you a lot ... and claims in turn to give them to the SS ...
It is a tranquility to see how you go, the alarms that let you know until you recognize the symptoms of hyper/hypo, see how your day -to -day activities influence and what food, emotions suppose you ... emotions ...
As @ruthbia says we are a world ... so your research work begins with yourself.It is an infinite and continuous learning trip.Little by little.Now it is a world, but the road will be paved.

Hi @joelsa.I debut a year and a half ago.They told me that the sensors gave them when they see that you control everything, it is more than anything because first you have to learn to handle yourself with the glucometer (sometimes the sensors fail).A month or less they gave me when I saw that I controlled HC rations and insulin doses.
It is very overwhelming at the beginning and you feel that they do not give you enough information but this forum is wonderful for that, you will find a lot of important information.
Much encouragement!
