Take it one day at a time One very good thing to do is to get yourself a Glucose monitor and test to see what foods affect your glucose levels.

They say that coz they don't want the expense of prescribing you testing strips, basically. Of course you need to test. How else will you know what foods affect you, what exercise does to you etc etc. Knowledge is power, although most Health Professionals prefer you to just 'toe the line' and 'do what they tell you'.
