[QUOTE="DavideB, post: 525915, member: 43921"] Hello and welcome: First thing you have come to the right place, this forum is great and has great support: I was in the same boat I was diagnosed while living in Italy and was so scared. I went home and could not sleep, reading the internet and looking at all the negative sides. I then found this forum and I have to say the support was great: I now look at this diabetes on the positive side; It gave me a kick up the backside... I have lost weight (put a bit back on as I have stopped smoking) feel better and eat better. I know this can be a bad illness only (in my opinion) if you let it be. Since I was diagnosed I have never felt better. I am not out of breath my wife says I am a new man. I can now go for long walks and bike rides without stopping. I was so fat that the council wanted to hire me as a mobile roundabout.... My only bit of advice I would say is. Any question that you have does not matter how stupid you may feel it is ASK IT ON HERE and you will get help [/QUOTE]
