big,big thankyou

That is really good to know @newest and just goes to show how effective the Diabetes On-line Community can be, hope your good progress continues

I can only agree wholeheartedly.I have had reasonably good support from my G.P.and D.N. judging by anecdotal evidence here.However without the knowledge and helpful,friendly input here I would be in a dark place.I have gained the knowledge to politely but firmly push my case with the HCP's. Gained inspiration from other peoples determination,setbacks and successes.Spent more time than I have for years in the kitchen trying out recipes.And wished to give my support and hopefully constructive opinions to those I can tell are just starting their journey.
For me it has only been a month since diagnosis,but it would have been a long,long and much more difficult month without this community.
I would like to thank you all too!

I can only endorse what has already been said. This site is a lifesaver, I have learned so much. Use it every day, reading all the posts and grabbing the information shared with both hands? Wonderful. Good luck to all of us.
