[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 699340, member: 85347"] Dear Paul Guy. Firstly welcome to the Diabetes Forum, which if it were possible to avoid, I'm sure that we diabetics would all have liked to avoid. From your first posting, having achieved two consecutive fasting Blood/Glucose readings that are/or exceed 7.0 mml/L will mean that you have 'qualified' and passed the diabetic entrance test. It can be very confusing at first, but take each day as it comes and learn a little more as to how to become the master of your diabetes and not the slave. You are already making a fine start by realising that both a controlled diet with sensible regular exercise is the principle weapon in defeating diabetes. Having been confirmed as being diabetic will unfortunately mean that you will have to live with this condition throughout your life as although it can be controlled, unfortunately at this moment in time it cannot be totally eliminated. I would expect Daisy will be along shortly with some useful and helpful advice that she post to all the new-diabetics. There are some individuals here on this site who disagree with the use of 'Statins' to control and regulate Cholesterol, but from my own personal experience, I've been on them for many years now and they have indeed managed to bring my own Cholesterol down to a safe limit. You will have much to learn and it can sometime seem that it might be all to much, but don't worry, we've all been down that road in our early days of diabetes and have survived. Should you have any query or question then please ask as many members on this forum are only to pleased to share their own experience with a fellow diabetic sufferer. Best wishes for the future - Lazybones [/QUOTE]
