[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1611201, member: 408573"] Hi there and welcome to the forum. I think that confusion is the second thing to hit people after the fear that hearing the diagnosis brings. Don't worry, you do not have to make any firm decisions at once. Take your time and read around the forum to learn about the different approaches to handling your Diabetes control. Remember that you have not been handed a death sentence and that Diabetes does not have to be the chronic disease that some people would have us beleive. Ask questions about anything and everything you might be concerned about. Sadly, a lot of people still think that 'portion control' is key to blood glucose control. This is mainly because these people are under the impression that weight gain is the cause of Type 2 Diabetes, it is not. Obesity is a symptom, one of many, of Diabetes. You may not be overweight but if you are the first thing to understand is that Diabetes is not your fault. [/QUOTE]
