Hi Granny, Helen, Sami - good to see you here, come here often, pull up a chair and ask away, whatever you want to know about diabetes, someone is always ready with an answer, suggestions, a shoulder to cry on and more.
Helen, why do you have no family support (you dont have to answer that if it is too personal) just wondering maybe there is nobody living close by, but I remember back in my case, I didnt tell my mother for ages that I was diagnosed, my sister knew but she stayed away and clammed up s soon as diabetes was mentioned. I found out, the hard way, that with this disease we can do a awful lot to help ourselves and it is true as Sue says 'knowledge is the key to good control' the more you learn about diabetes the more confident you will become people tend to shy away and ignore it because they are scared.
All the very best
Karen
