Hi there
I have recently been diagnosed as having Type 2 Diabetes. I am still very much in the dark as to what this entails and what the future will bring. At the moment it is being controlled by diet - i have yet to meet the dietician!! All i have been told so far is to eat a healthy diet and watch my sugar intake. But i am so confused - how much is too much? Do i have to cut out ALL my choccies and ice-cream? I guess i am lucky it has been picked up on - i have just moved house and had to change doctors and it was found when i had my MOT. My BP was sky high and after 9 years on the same tablet it has been increased twice, so now am on 32mg instead of 8!! Then it was my cholestorol and now my blood sugar - HELP!! This site seems so friendly and helpful, so throw anything my way. Thanks - Chris
