I'm glad to read such a positive post! Keep up the good work!

I felt exactly the same as you when I was diagnosed just before christmas. I went from feeling confident that I could control this, to helpless that my body was doing things I didn't want it to. I am still learning about the condition and feel I have a long way to go before I am confortable...

Thank you! :D

I am going to get that t shirt printed! :lol:

Thanks for the replies. Its good to know i'm not the only one who goes a bit mad at pmt time. In my sensible head I think 'eat carefully you are diabetic!' But in my hormonal head I am thinking 'if its not fastened down and its bad for you... eat it!!'

I have raging PMT. I am moody and emotional. And eating too much. I have only been diagnosed for 3 weeks. Lost 11lbs. Now I don't care what I eat or what it does to me. I know its because my period is due but I feel so rubbish. I don't want to make myself ill. Is this normal. How do...

Hi Esselle, I don't have a child with diabetes but I can imagine how scary it is for you. Our children are so precious aren't they. By learning as much as you can and educating your child as you go, you will be doing the absolute best thing for him. He will learn how to control his...

Hi Steve :)

I hear you Bernie :D

I am new to this whole diabetes thing (T2) and haven't had to deal with eating out yet. I wonder if I could just eat what I like if its a one off special occasion. Am I going to get ill? Failing that I suppose a diabetic menu might help me but only if its low carb/fat.

Hi Helen I need to lose 6ish stones too. I am feeling daunted by the whole thing. I am glad you are feeling so optimistic. I hope it rubs off on me too! I was thinking about a gastric bypass but I don't think I am brave enough. Looks like its diet and exercise for me. :)

That sounds nice! I will try it, thank you.

Thank you very much! Suddenly my day seems a bit brighter :D

Thanks for the advice. I will try the granola and see how I get on. And the Bergen bread. I love the idea of having bacon, egg and mushrooms. That will fill me up! And I promise I won't have chocolate for breakfast :lol: Is it ok to have one or two chocolates if I get too sad about...

I think the bread and cereal are going to have to go. I am struggling to think of what to eat for breakfast that will fill me up. I want to eat properly even though I really want to grab a big box of chocolates!

Hi, I am new to the forum and newly diagnosed with T2 diabetes. I bought my own BG meter as I wanted to know how foods affect my glucose levels. I would love some help in understanding my readings. Before breakfast my reading is 6.1 every morning. 2 hours after breakfast its 9.1 (breakfast...

Hi Claire *waves*

The only reason she gave me one script was because I said I wanted to be proactive. I will keep trying though :)

Thank you Daisy. I am sure I will have a lot of questions once I get over my annoyance at being diagnosed :D

The nurse I see said I shouldn't be testing. She said that there is no need as I am taking Metformin. I bought my own meter anyway and asked her about getting the strips on prescription. She said I can have one prescription but after that I have to buy my own. :?
