[QUOTE="Silvery Sheila, post: 908726, member: 194614"] Hi MorbidCaterpillar, I know just how you feel. I was diagnosed at the beginning of May with Type 2, in the middle of blood tests for a mystical illness which turned out to be polymyalgia rheumatica. The news that I was a diabetic was a real blow but I felt so poorly that I was too lethargic to find out much about it. Once the polymyalgia was diagnosed, I could turn my attention to the diabetes but there is so much to read, learn and digest that it is a mammoth task, and quite daunting. It will become clearer, honestly, and once you start taking your bloods, you will learn what foods affect you. My problem is that the polymyalgia is being treated with steroids, which send the sugar spiralling! I was firstly concerned about reducing my sugar intake ( I am a real sugar baby) but since joining Diabetes UK, I have discovered that carbohydrates are just as bad. I am still learning how to manage mine, so don't be disheartened and keep plugging away. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
