Hello, I'm a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic, thought i'd join a forum as there is so much new information I need to take in, and i dont know any diabetics personally so i thought it would help if I could speak to people in the same boat as me!
At first I was like.. what, no chocolate? no alcohol? (lol i'm terrible) and the prospect of a complete lifestyle change scared me, but I'm starting to get to used it alot more. Just got to get on with it really! i've lost 11lb in three weeks of not eating the rubbish i used to, so thats a start...
anyways enough waffle for now, hello & I will see you around!

Yes it is a shock when you are diagnosed isn't it. I refused to believe it for many weeks but it just wouldn't go away no matter how much I ignored it. You will find though that you could still eat a square or two of dark (90% is best) chocolate and drink a glass of red wine or whisky - all in moderation. :wink:
