[QUOTE="Bubblezzz, post: 283224, member: 45246"] Hi Everyone, I am an absolute foodie and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after a kidney infection 2.5 weeks ago. Since then, my moods have veered between feeling positive (glad that I found out and now can take charge) and absolute dejection and despair. I have been trying to eat well and have almost completely cut out sugar from my diet. In contrast to my old diet, this new food situation seems completely horrific. I know that this is an opportunity for me to change my life around and do better by myself but there are still times when it feels so daunting! Reading the advice given on this forum, which I just discovered today, has helped some but it's really hard to take in the fact that my old (gluttonous) life is over. :( I am in my early 30s. It just feels like such a long, hard road to follow. :( [/QUOTE]
