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.
 
Welcome. You will find lots of support and advice on this forum. Ask any questions you want - remember there is no such thing as a silly question!

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