[QUOTE="jayney27, post: 1758980, member: 455431"] Hello and welcome, All the previous posts include advice that I would have given. As already said you have made a good start, take heart from this, we were all where you are and we have all done what we are recommending, it works and for lots of us it works quite quickly. The shock of diagnosis can be upsetting, I cried, then felt sorry for myself, was angry, upset, confused and scared. Finding this site was my saviour, I quickly discovered that I wasn’t alone and that my feelings were normal. The support we give each other is lovely, you will find answers to your questions from people who have first hand knowledge. I was diagnosed in October and like you was told to try and loose a little bit of weight, do a little bit of exercise and eat a well balanced diet, no medication required and not advised to get a meter. Thankfully I found this wonderful forum and started following the low carb way of eating and bought a meter. In February I went for my first check up, my results were dramatically lower as was my weight. I can honestly say that despite having diabetes I have never felt better. Of course I would prefer not to be diabetic but without that diagnosis I would still be overweight and filling my body with food is doesn’t need. There are lots of alternatives to try food wise, your tastes seem to adapt quite quickly and the enjoyment I get from eating eggs and bacon on a regular basis without feeling guilty is pure joy. Good luck and be strong you will see results and feel better in no time. [/QUOTE]
