[QUOTE="paintylady, post: 1464780, member: 395275"] 9 weeks since diagnosis and I've never been so scared in all my life! It's the sheer overwhelming amount of stuff to suddenly have to think about, plus the realisation that my years of trying to lose weight (up and down like a fiddlers elbow) was flawed because I relied on carbs and fruit. The weight is shifting but still a way to go, struggling with getting bg numbers down but the trend is good (except for the mornings which keep wandering back into double figures) It's the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing at night, I admit I'm finding it tiring mentally but this forum does help, it took a while but I have realised that it is so individual, I was getting sad because I was comparing myself to others, I've given up looking at people's fasting bg levels because I can only dream about seeing such low numbers (for now! I'll get there!!) but overall this has helped me so much, I feel much less alone and I can normally find the information or answer I'm looking for. I don't know much but because of you lot I'm getting there. [/QUOTE]
