Luckily you've found this site which is full of amazing a supportive people.Okay- the good news is that diet is much more important than exercise in managing diabetes- fortunate for me as I hate exercise- I do it but really hate it.I completely agree with [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] . A meter is a great idea. I started of testing many many times a day- I am a bit obsessive. I don't any more but that initial testing was vital for me. The thing about a meter is that it has no biases- it simply reflects your current levels. For me I went very low carb early and my meter showed me that that approach reduced my blood sugar levels dramatically. I found it challenging changing my diet ad my then doctor was not supportive of my diet change so the meter was vital to my mental health- it reassured me that it was working. My doctor liked the results of my diet but was not supportive of it.I have found it challenging to get medical professionals supportive of my approach but they generally are supportive of the results.Good luck and welcome.</blockquote>
