[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 1568562, member: 22572"] Hi Tuneuhh Welcome to our forum. I am tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will soon be along with lots of very useful introductory material issued to the newly diagnosed. Study well as ask away as many questions as you need to ensure that you are clear about it all. You have been diagnosed with diabetes. You have a medical condition an illness. Nobody knows why you have gone on to develop diabetes, while others with the same or worse eating habits as you have not. A diabetes diagnosis is not divine retribution to the undeserving. So stop falling into the trap of blaming yourself and feeling so guilty. You drew the genetic short straw, that's all. Anyway, what matters is not so much the past and the why you developed diabetes but the future and the how to manage your diabetes. So turn your guilt feelings into determination to get on top of this condition and tame your glucose levels. With the guidance of your more experienced peers in this forum it should not prove too difficult to do. Your reaction of course is not unusual, in fact it is quite typical. Emotionally a diabetes diagnosis is an emotional Rollercoaster at first but things will settle down soon. Being as you say "in limbo", not knowing even what type you are, is not helping you at the moment. So chin up and once again welcome [/QUOTE]
