[QUOTE="KathyCP, post: 1607978, member: 424527"] Hi kay1165, welcome to the forum. I was told that I'd probably had diabetes for five years before I was diagnosed, so it's not uncommon. This beginning period can be stressful - you're coping with something scary and unknown, and also being bombarded with conflicting advice. So - take your time. No need to get it 'right' straight away - certainly my own experience is that it took me a couple of years (some of us are slow learners ...) to find my way to a point where I seem to be able to keep things really stable, off medication and with non-diabetic sugar levels. And the good news is that, keeping things stable helps protect eyes, feet, kidneys, etc. - my eyes and feet were definitely affected (though I didn't realise it at first), but I have noticed that, as my levels have dropped and stabilised, they seem to be slowly improving as well. Good luck on the journey. [/QUOTE]
