[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 214381, member: 28827"] Good Morning Babeblue... Firstly it's important to understand that you are not alone and that being confused and upset is perfectly normal! Secondly it's important to understand that this [b]WILL[/b] get better and that it's not always going to be this hard.. As a new diabetic I would suggest that rather than try and do everything at once which can be overwhelming that you start slow and work into gaining an understanding of your body and diabetes... There are a couple of really important things that you can do which will really help you... 1. Blood Testing - it's important to test your sugars before you eat and 2 hours after you eat because this is going let you know how your body reacts. 2. Carbohydrates - These are what send your blood sugars up... 3. Food Diary - Keep a diary of what you eat and the carbohydrates in the food... after a few weeks you will start to see how carbohydrates effect your blood sugar and how insulin helps reduce your blood sugars... Finally this is a long process and it takes a while to get under-control... hell I have been type 1 for 12+ years now and I still ask questions or get confused, frustrated etc... Its not wrong to feel this way and you will learn to cope [/QUOTE]
