Hi my name is awin and I'm really confused and concerned about my condition I'm 18years old and 3 months ago I learned that I was diagnosed with diabetes but the type is still unknown because they don't do the mody test in my country.I feel so lonely and I feel like no one understands after all I'm still thankful and positive about it . I learned just right before my exams I'm a senior

...
Aww thats so sad...and such a bad time to find out, the worst is that food manufacturers actively create probs...you need to learn to cook delicious healthy food that fitness friends will appreciate...and you will be really popular! You dont need fast foods if there are fast foods where u are...you will still be liked with friends who diet!!

Hi Les, Pleased to meet you and welcome. I am also fairly new (just a few weeks) and also have T2
This place is amazing, very friendly and very helpful. At the moment I am trying the Low Carb diet which a lot of people here are on and it seems to be working well for me, so have a read around the forum and maybe try it yourself.

Hi, I’m Leo and I was diagnosed with diabetes just last week. I’m 56 and live in NW London.

 

[david4503]

I’m not going to read all 200+ pages so I’ll just ask: Has anyone questioned why the OP, an administrator working for an organization that sells things on a linked site, made a point of asking all the marketing type questions listed on page one? If so, what was the answer — or did they not get one?

You can send her a PM to ask. She posted the thread 10 years ago so she's likely the only one who knows, if she even remembers.
She's not online often anymore, but she does have an occasional peek on the forum so she might see your PM.

Regardless of the reason it was originally posted, many of our members like to intruduce themselves here, and many old members like to welcome new people who post on this thread, so it's a useful thread.

This thread is meant for people who like to introduce themselves, so any further off topic posts will be deleted.
