[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2050329, member: 372717"] Welcome to the forums from another NZer (though I've only been living here for 2 years). I'm tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] to give you the usual intro to diabetes talk. Have you been given any advice about diet from your doctor/nurse? I've actually been quite impressed by the treatment for T1 diabetics in New Zealand and hope that T2s are also treated well. ( My fear is that you may have been sent away with some generic "eat healthy" advice and some medication, and no real information on how to combat this illness ). Have they given you a blood testing meter? That is a big pile of health conditions to be weighed down with, but hopefully the advice you'll get from these boards will mean the fifth on the list will not be too much of an issue for you. In fact, you should start feeling a lot better once your blood sugars normalise and you eat things that your body can cope with (hint: T2s don't process carbohydrate well, and tend to do much better when they reduce the quantities of it.) Stopping for now, as I don't want to weigh you down with advice (particularly as I'm T1 not T2). Hopefully some T2s from Australia or NZ will post soon (the UK folk will be asleep). Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
