[QUOTE="rhubarb73, post: 1897810, member: 478319"] Hello Starshine I like the handle you have chosen – so positive and optimistic. And so you should be. Lots of great advice here already so I’ll try not to add too much to the noise. I was diagnosed in May at Hba1c of 66. At back at normal levels now and not quite 3 stones lighter. It’s hard at first but make a plan day by day and first and gradually absorb all the advice on here. Come back and ask questions. I wrote a blog about my first 50 days – the link is here and you may find it helpful [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/type-2-my-first-50-days.2190/[/URL] Of course you feel guilty and ashamed – we all did. We shouldn’t, but we did because that is what the media portrayal of Type 2 conditions us to think. But follow a plan and very soon you are going to be a very proud lady, in control of your health, getting smaller, getting some fancy new clothes for Christmas and wowing your friends and family with your achievements. But most importantly you’ll be controlling your blood sugars. Welcome aboard Starshine – keep shining. It’s gonna be OK. [/QUOTE]
