Hi All,
I’ve stumbled across this page while jumping from page to page reading all things diabetic. I was told 3 weeks ago about my diagnosis and have not stopped crying (on and off) since. I feel like I’m being dramatic but I can’t get my head around it and don’t feel like it’s real. I’ve had my first diabetic check up and my feet are healthy and got my other appointments ready to attend (eyes / education etc) I’ve been told to manage it through diet initially until my next set of blood tests to then determine treatment plan. I really struggle with vegetables and salad and feel like I’m in a vicious circle, I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and feel like I want to cry even more thinking about how to alter my diet and where to even start especially with being a fussy eater.
Is it normal to feel so helpless, emotional and confused.
How long does it take for it all to make sense?
Should I buy a blood test kit and keep an eye on my levels day to day or will I eventually get one?
Thanks in advance
