[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2076370, member: 401801"] Hi [USER=507159]@PamJHS[/USER], Yes, it does get easier. If you're hovering between Prediabetes and T2, your levels aren't hopelessly bad, and with low carb/high fat you'll get them down into the normal range soon. So breathe. It's funny your practice is up-to-date on carb restriction though, but still perscribed a statin first thing. (They do tend to raise bloodsugarlevels, and in some, cause T2 to begin with.). At least they got half of it right, which is more than most do. ;) Anyway, yes, you'll be okay. You're not doomed and you're not going to get masses of complications, if you get your diet straight. There's a quick-start-guide in my signature for The Nutritional Thingy, which might help, but this forum's website, the Diabetes Code by Dr Jason Fung and dietdoctor.com are all really good when it comes to information, easing of minds and such. You'll be fine. It's just an adjustment in how you eat and you'll see the numbers drop. (Be sure to get a meter! It's not just a great way to see where you're at, it'll also give you some hope when you see the changes you're making are working !) Hugs, and welcome, Jo [/QUOTE]
