[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2170081, member: 460354"] I feel your pain. I felt exactly the same on diagnosis. I cried for 2 days solid. Couldn't even tell anyone apart from direct family I had been diagnosed T2d. I still have the bunch of leaflets I was given, the eatwell plate I was drawn. I said no to the meds offered as I had heard you could reverse t2d. Went on Google. Input 'reversing diabetes' and found this forum. Everyone was regaining control of blood sugars by lowering carbs and increasing healthy fats. I started straight away. Hba1c went from 62 to 47 (prediabetic range) in 2 months. Then by my next diabetic appointment it was 41 (normal). It went into the 30s subsequently. My symptoms disappeared as soon as I changed my way of eating. I now work with my surgery. I hold support clinics. Patient to patient. Because I want there to be someone to talk to that understands and explains everything clearly. And to give advice that is going to help them and not make the diabetes progressively worse. I was told testing wasnt necessary. 'It can get obsessive'. That my 6 or 12 month hba1c would be sufficient to keep things in check. This is nonsense. Testing is so beneficial. We are all different so without testing we wouldnt know which foods suit us and which dont. This site was my lifesaver. The members are knowledgeable, friendly, and someone is always there to help. You have come to the right place. [/QUOTE]
