I understand the shock and fear of your diagnosis, but lots of people live very well with T2 by adjusting their diet.. The 17th anniversary of my T2 diagnosis is this week. (Though I am old enough to be your granny). Have managed to avoid complications so far, by losing much excess weight, then following a low carb lifestyle. One thing you can do to take some control is to get a glucose monitor, and check blood glucose levels at very least fasting level first thing on waking, then immediately before, and two hours after eating. If you record what they are, and what you have eaten, you will be able to determine fthe effects of various foods on your blood glucose levels.Depending on your blood results your GP will probably prescribe medication. You could try asking him / her for a blood glucose meter too. Though you will possibly need to purchase one.Come back and post about the doctor consultation, then people can give specific advice and support here. In meantime, keep reading the forums, ask questions. Oh and there is some basic info in my signature beneath the post.Best wishes.</blockquote>
