Hi Katy and welcome.
It would help everyone if you could update your profile with which type of diabetes you have. Saves us giving inappropriate answers
How long have you been diagnosed? And what was you hba1c, if you don't mind sharing?
This site is a great resources for all diabetics. So when you are ready feel free to fill in a little of your profile- but no pressure. I started by lurking but quickly realised how helpful this site is and registered. But there are a range of people here so do things as you feel comfortable.
