[QUOTE="Osidge, post: 206676, member: 17302"] Hi Lynne Welcome to the wonderful world of diabetes. It may take a while to get used to but I found that it soon became just another part of my life. Exercise is so important. I'm sure with your grandson and Storm you will be getting a lot!! Excess weight is not good. Diet is also important and, in getting a meter, you have taken the first step in being able to work out which foods are good and which are bad - for you! It is also important to ensure that you have tight control of your blood pressure. The target that I was given, and which I achieve with medication, is 130/80. You will also be getting into regular trips to have blood taken for the long-term control indication of your diabetes (HbA1c). It's not so bad. I am sure you will get a lot of help from the great people on this forum. You will also get care from your medical practitioners. It is important though, in my opinion, to educate yourself about diabetes and take charge of your own condition. As far as doctors and nurses go, they are partners with you in your care and your views count!! Regards [/QUOTE]
