[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2339096, member: 511345"] Hello and welome, It is totally normal to feel upset and overwhelmed when you get the diagnosis of diabetes. It is normal to feel ashamed and alone- but the great news is that you are so not alone. There are many of us here who have been where you are at. For me it was at least 2 weeks before I wasn't crying every day. However, since I found this forum and went very low carbs my results have been in the normal range. The first thing to find out is whether you are a type 1 or type 2. The next thing I suggest is to read the link below- a quick start: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] The next thing to do is to get a meter and start testing. Anyway- that's probably enough for someone feeling overwhelmed except to say- forget self blame- if you don't know that your body can't tolerate carbs how do you know to reduce them? You didn't cause this. Welcome keep reading and posting. [/QUOTE]
