[QUOTE="Mandyque, post: 2426997, member: 546930"] Hi, I'm posting for the first time as a newly diagnosed T2 and I really needed to read the OP today. It's taken me a couple of weeks to stop feeling horribly depressed and self-hating, that it's all my fault for being overweight and I'm stupid etc. The fact is that my parents were both very overweight, as am I, and my dad had diabetes and was told it was genetic, so I was always predisposed. I'm starting to calm down now, and I'm working out ways to manage doing the things I enjoy doing while watching my blood sugar levels. Being proactive and planning ahead is something I can do, so this is an improvement already for me. I still need to talk to the diabetes nurse, so there's a lot I don't know about what treatments I need, but dealing with the mental health side of it always comes first for me as I struggle in general that way.
