:shock: I am a newly diagnosed Diabetic type 1/2 probably type 2 but was actually picked up with high sugar levels and ketones in blood and urine. I am not entirely new to Diabetes as I am in a health profession. But that doesn't mean I am different to anyone because of that. I was diagnosed a week before Xmas last year- Which if you love eating sweet stuff at that time sends your world crashing down on you! :cry:
I am finding it hard to cope with, as I have had a horrible year, (stress wise) and I am actually trying to lose a lot of weight :| .
So any words of encouragement or wisdom will be warmly welcomed :D by me.
