[QUOTE="DawnOfTheZed, post: 2076340, member: 501602"] Firstly big hug! It's a shock to many of us but hopefully you'll get to grips with it v soon. Kudos to your surgery for saying cut the carbs - many are still using the 'Eatwell' message which isn't right for T2D. Have a read round the forum and hopefully a mod will come by soon to point you at the newbie info (see their signatures, I believe) which may help you. Mental fog is actually a common symptom of diabetes, so try not to worry about that too much. If you cut down your carbs you should find the fog lifting in a few days/weeks. If you find your blood glucose readings don't go down despite restricting your carb intake, please go back to your surgery to get confirmation of your diagnosis. Sorry you're having to join the club but you've made a great start to understand it all, interest in an ed course, getting a monitor, and having a clued up surgery (that last bit is luck, but still helpful to you). Best wishes [/QUOTE]
