[QUOTE="Camilla, post: 252871, member: 41065"] I am afraid the truth that diabetics can no longer really eat as they used to. That is something of a soothing untruth that diabetic nurses say. Our pancreas cannot cope like normal people's does. In order to act to get your blood sugar down to normal you will need to plan and eat a careful controlled diet. The lowering of carbohydrates is extremely important. I found it best to stop eating sweet foods like chocolate and cakes completely at first, such foods will undermine your efforts to get into the healthy range of blood sugars. You need to find out which foods you can tolerate without spiking, it takes time to do that. I doubt you will be given a meter. Only usually insulin dependent diabetics get them free. I ordered mine immediately after diagnosis off Amazon and began testing every day. That is the only way to begin to get real control. [/QUOTE]
