[QUOTE="andcol, post: 625488, member: 96315"] Hi [USER=35584]@donnad[/USER] and welcome to the forum. I have just read your thread and I understand the responses your got; from the motivational pushes to the apologies. Many of us needed that motivation. I remember when I was diagnosed I was in a real panic and decided that the only thing I could eat was protein (for about 3 days) because carbs raise my blood glucose and "it is unheathy" to eat fat (crock) You are probably feeling depressed because you are going to have to re-think the rest of your life just like we all have. I was 49 and thought OMG am I even going to make it to get the money out of my pension that I have been saving for! What a life changer this diagnosis has been. From that point I decided I had to change and so I did. Guess what, that depression is just natural when we realise we aren't indestructible any more. Why not tell us a little about your diagnosis, diet, life style and we will be able to help you get control of your diabetes. BTW fear is a great motivator so use it for good. [/QUOTE]
