[QUOTE="Kph103, post: 1474065, member: 396742"] Chin up. I felt the same way when diagnosed, guess we all do, but it was not unexpected because I was showing quite a few symptoms before being confirmed. My BS reading was 23 !!! Which was really scary. However, my doctor didn't want me on melds and said let's try 3 months on diet/excercise. Now after 2 1/2 months I've lost over 35 pounds, joined a gym but also walk a lot. My latest readings are 9, 8.5 and 8.3. It's not the end of the world, you just need to decide I'm going to control this and not let it control me. Do low carb..it's easier than you think because eating fewer carbs means you don't feel as hungry. You'll still get cravings, it's how you handle them . Good luck and take care [/QUOTE]
