Hello and welcome to the forum. Diagnosis is a tough time, take things steady. Your English is very good, by the way. Well done on joining the forum that is, in my opinion, the best around.

Your English is very good, by the way.

Yes indeed, I would never have guessed that English is not your first language. Having a good command of English will give you access to so much useful information, both here and on other sites and in books.

Thanks. I will try to stick around since i am in a club as a permanent member until the day all of us can leave it.

Hi Gabrielle,
Sorry to hear of your diagnosis, welcome to the forum.
Take care

Welcome! My sister was diagnosed when she was 16. 40 years later and she's doing just fine.

Welcome. You have a positive attitude and that will take you a long way. Diagnosis at any age is hard, so take things a step at a time and ask questions.

Languages are regional, diabetes is not. With effort and determination neither needs to remain a mystery.
You have conquered another language and are tackling your diabetes.
You should be proud of yourself.
Best of luck to you.
