[QUOTE="muzza3, post: 2420946, member: 258123"] Hi and Welcome [USER=546003]@Bree0817[/USER] Your post pretty much describes exactly how I felt when first diagnosed. You have had some good advice from your Doctor to reduce carbs and doing so can have an impact quite quickly on both your sugar levels and weight. Funnily enough I found my diagnosis drew a line in the sand for me and the fear motivated me to take action that I had ignored for a long time. In taking it on that also had a positive impact on my depression as I focused on taking action to get on top of it As others have posted this forum is an amazing resource of practical experience from diabetics from all around the world (Australia for me) and has helped me to return my sugar levels to normal and lose significant weight. My initial advice would be to get a meter to test your levels. This gets you control and will help with food choices going forward. Of course reduce you carb intake. Ask lots of questions here as you find the right diet for you You have already made a great step in finding this forum and posting here [/QUOTE]
