Hi Stephen.

Don't be scared. Your Diabetes is controllable and you can learn to lose weight safely here. There are lots of different Diets available to you. Take a look in the Food Forum and also low Carb Forum to learn about the effect Carbs have on Bg levels for starters.
You will be confused and not know which way to turn. Just ask questions when you need to.
We are all here to support and assist you any way we can.
Happy reading.

Ken. :D

Hi Stephen, welcome. I am a relative new person too...diagnosed in January. The scariness wears off as you start to control your blood sugar. A monitor is an excellent way to start and most check their blood when waking and then before food and 2 hours after. This tells you if what you have eaten has had a big effect on your levels or not. Some can eat plenty of carbs others follow a low carb diet [not to be confused with Atkins no carb though]. It is all a bit trial and error at first... since I was diagnosed I tried a high carb diet [which didn't work well for me] and I now low carb. i have lost 3 stones since january without really trying and I try to take a walk every day to have some exercise.
I am however not an expert and someone will come along and tell you more than I can, but I have learned lots here and as cugila says have a good look round and feel free to ask anything.

Hi Stephen
i was diagnoised less than a month ago! There are lots of really helpful people on here! I have found that i can have a answer to any question that i have in a day rather than trying to see a nurse and try and get help from there!
Welcome to the forum, any questions i am sure you will get help! Trust me i was so scared when first told that i needed tests, but asking questions and getting helpful advice here has helped and calmed me down no end! It is a great forum!

Our Naranbayasgalant temple was originated from 16th century. It is clearly seen that temple was always engaged in charitable deed which helped people who suffered from serious health problems through forming their own opinion regarding outer world and attitude toward their lives. By early 20th century, as communist purges had happened to destroy almost all the temples and monasteries and to perform massive killing of numerous number of monks, saints and historical and cultural precious heritages had been destroyed completely.
Tragic history which proves nothing about temple existence for over 90 years except only remains of our temple had happened to our temple too as it happened to other temples and monasteries. Fortunately, our temple had come into existence again in 2000 and few medical treatment sutras and books were found from the remains of our temple and this made the temple heritage possible to be recovered. Oriental medicine created by enormous efforts by ancient saints and masters made really possible to heal following diseases integrating with human spiritual religious and goddish beliefs including heart attack, arhythmia, hypertensive disease, hypotension, sore throat, some gastrointestinal diseases, renal diseases, gyneacological diseases. It was noted that visions of our patients who wore glasses before improved dramatically and they were no longer to wear glasses. We have found out that artherosclerosis, obesity and diabetes which are proved to be urban diseases are caused by almost artificial and over processed foods which lost its natural feature, various types of food supplements, various vitamins which are proved to be digested up to only 30% and medicines and injections which have very bad side effects on other organs although good for particular organs.
We are pleased to acknowledge that people who suffered from above mentioned diseases had addressed us and had been healed completely by us. In this tough time of economic crisis, we have decided to establish training and welfare center for children who left their schools because of low income and needs to work for income in partnership with “Children – Future Citizen” Fund for the only sole goal to contribute to prosperity of our country and for future of Mongolia – the children.

Our goal is to help many people who are suffering from various diseases to heal their diseases and to live in more natural and healthy way through spreading our Oriental medicine inherited from our ancestors and our experience in Western countries. Thus, this time, we are pleased to announce our Oriental medicine healthy and treatment program of 4 courses each comprises of 40 days totally during the period from June through October to help the people who are suffering from those diseases and the most importantly people who have only desire to heal their diseases. This time of program is explained due to extra continental climate of Mongolia.
Please be advised that, our religion of Buddha deeply respects other religions and their doctrines in world, thus we can’t stand people who believes in religions other than Buddha to persuade or preach their religions to people who believes in Buddha.
Also, please note that people who don’t trust us and intends to try out us as well people who committed any sin should not turn to us. We are able to know whether you are and intend to do so through just seeing your aura.
Please be advised that only people whose diabetes is in its fist stage of disease should turn to us.

Welcome. Take a good look around, ask questions.

Well, that rules out about 99% of us then ? As a sinner, that's me out of the equation. Mind you, you are very welcome to check out my aura anytime. I may be saved ? I may be cast out into the wilderness ? I'll survive.
