You've just been told you have type 1 diabetes. What now?

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.

Medication

A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes means your pancreas is no longer capable of producing insulin. Through multiple daily injections with insulin pens or syringes or an insulin pump, it will be up to you to monitor your blood glucose levels and appropriately administer your insulin. You will need to work closely with your healthcare team to determine which insulin or insulins are best for you and your body.

Exercise

Exercise is also a key component of proper diabetes care. Along with all of the other benefits you will receive from being active, your diabetes will also respond in kind with more stable blood glucose levels. We have plenty of information and tips to help get you motivated and keep your exercise routines fresh.

Nutrition

Nutrition is one of the most important pieces of the diabetes puzzle. Learning how different foods affect your blood glucose and how manage that within your daily routine will be key. Working with a registered dietitian who has expertise in type 1 diabetes to establish a personalized eating plan is a great place to start. This will include a strategy for balancing food, insulin doses, and physical activity. It will be important to revisit your eating plan as your preferences and daily activities change over time. A dietitian can also provide valuable guidance if you need to lose weight.

Support

Emotional support, while not often initially considered, plays a key role in diabetes care. Connecting with other people living with diabetes that understand the daily grind of counting carbohydrates, testing blood glucose multiple times each day and dealing with the various highs and lows (both physical and emotional) of life with diabetes can make all the difference.

Talking with people who "get it" is important, and our Online Community offers a place for people living with and affected by diabetes to find that support. Our Family Link program connects parents of children with type 1 diabetes.

You Can Do This

Living with type 1 diabetes is tough but with proper care can be a footnote in your life's story. Balancing nutrition, exercise and proper blood glucose management techniques with the rest of your life's priorities mean anything is possible:

No matter what you want to achieve, You Can Do This.

Penguins 3, Sharks 1 | Pittsburgh wins series, 4-2

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Much of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals was part hockey, part speedskating. When it was over on Sunday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins had their second title in eight years and their fourth in franchise history, defeating the San Jose Sharks, 3-1.

What turned out to be the winning goal typified the high-end skill on display throughout the series. The Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby fed defenseman Kris Letang for a one-timer low in the right face-off circle that found its way into the San Jose net at 7 minutes 46 seconds of the second period.

And despite encouragement from the spirited crowd inside SAP Center for the Sharks' first appearance in the Stanley Cup finals in their 25-year history, San Jose could not find the equalizer before Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist scored an insurance goal into an empty net with 1:02 left in the third period.

The game ended when Crosby cleared the puck the length of the ice with San Jose on a power play, and then the celebration began.

"Man, I'm going to remember this day for the rest of my entire life," said the rookie Penguins goaltender Matthew Murray, who faced only 19 shots in the clinching game.

Murray, who is 22, added: "I probably won't believe this until next year, to be honest. It's so surreal."

Crosby, who had 19 postseason points, was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy, which is given to the most valuable player of the playoffs. During his postgame media conference, he drew comparisons with the first cup he won in 2009, his fourth of 11 seasons in the league.

"I have a greater appreciation this time around," the 28-year-old Crosby said, noting that after back-to-back appearances in the finals in 2008 and 2009, "you just think it's going to be an annual thing."

"With the core we have," he added, "you think everyone's going to stay together, the team's not going to change. But it does."

None of Pittsburgh's four Stanley Cup wins have come on home ice. Although the Stanley Cup presentation was made inside SAP Center by N.H.L. Commissioner Gary Bettman, thousands of Penguins supporters were able to celebrate at a watch party inside Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.

Center Evgeni Malkin said the championship felt as good as the 2009 title, and he was not surprised that it took so long to win it again.

"It's not easy to win in this league. They have 30 good teams," Malkin said. "We played against a tough San Jose team, and they not win in 25 years. It's not easy. San Jose a great team, great coaches. But it's tough to win. I'm glad finally we win."

Malkin added: "We did a great job. Actually, tonight we worked so hard, we deserved to win."

For the fifth time in the six games, the Penguins opened the scoring.

With Sharks forward Dainius Zubrus in the penalty box for tripping, Brian Dumoulin's shot from the left point eluded San Jose goaltender Martin Jones at 8:16 of the first period. Jones, who made 24 saves, was more formidable later in the period, however, making two quick saves on Crosby in a five-second span after a Sharks giveaway.

The Sharks tied the game, 1-1, at 6:27 of the second period when center Logan Couture used Penguins defenseman Justin Schultz as a screen and beat Murray with a 21-foot wrist shot. The goal was Couture's 30th point of the playoffs, the best in the league.

But Letang answered 79 seconds later, and San Jose could not draw even again.

The Sharks, who finished third in the Pacific Division, fell short of their goal, but they went a long way toward erasing their reputation as playoff underachievers with wins over the Los Angeles Kings, the Nashville Predators and the St. Louis Blues.

"I'm very proud of our group," Sharks Coach Peter DeBoer said. "I thought our guys emptied the tank, gave us everything they possibly could. We weren't as good as them during this two-week period."

The challenge Pittsburgh presented went beyond their well-recognized team speed, he added. "They have good sticks, too. They force you into quicker decisions. They really challenge your execution. We hadn't seen pressure and sticks like that through the first three rounds."

Pittsburgh had entered the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the Metropolitan Division, defeating the Rangers, the Washington Capitals and the Tampa Bay Lightning en route to the finals.

The Penguins righted their season after Mike Sullivan replaced Mike Johnston on Dec. 12 as coach when the team was near .500.

"We changed style," Malkin said of the coaching change. "Before, we played more D-zone; now we played in offensive zone. We use our legs. We skate with puck, we skate without puck. Always skating."
