[QUOTE="jayney27, post: 1797109, member: 455431"] No apologies needed, you aren’t moaning, you are still coming to terms with a big shock, it took me a while to get my head around it too. I cried when I was diagnosed and every now and again I have a moment where I feel sorry for myself and think how unfair it is. That said I am grateful that I have been given a chance to fight this, ok it’s never going to be completely cured but it can be controlled, when I find myself feeling sorry for myself I think of the consequences of what could have happened if I didn’t know I was diabetic. I was someone who didn’t have any typical signs or symptoms and wasn’t unwell, it was picked up quite by chance and I was told that I had probably been running around with high BG levels for a while. That is quite scary, I might not have had any symptoms until it was too late. I’m thankful I have been allowed to try diet only, no meds, and I’m quite determined to get my levels in the normal non diabetic range. My own daily testing gives me hope and I have everything crossed for next week, 2nd HbA1c test. There are lots of people here who have achieved amazing results, you can too, We need to adapt to a new way of eating and a different mindset about food but we can do it. [/QUOTE]
