[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 83383, member: 12578"] Hi Carol, Its a shock isn't it, and it doesn't sound as if you've got over it. But you're not alone, I was in my fifties and I've encountered many more of us that develop it later in life. You need some help with gaining control. When you've done that you should be able to do anything that you did pre diabetes. Don't let diabetes dictate the life you live. Make an appointment with your nurse, gp or someone at the hospital ( I know that there are drop in clinics at a few diabetes units, you might be lucky to have one in your area). Tell them how you are feeling. As you haven't got internet access it might be quite difficult to help on specifics, but please do ask any questions here,there is usually someone who can help. Meanwhile, whilst you are in the library see if you can order one of these books. Though they're American in origin,most people find either of both to be really useful.
