I was first diagnosed Type 2 just 5 weeks ago so can really relate to what you are currently feeling. I have to tell you though that Im currently feeling better both mentally and physically than I have done for a long time. Ive lost about 25lbs in weight (I was losing weight before I was diagnosed but hadn't realised why), my blood pressure is lower, Im eating healthier and most importantly my mmol/l (what you call the finger prick test) is consistently under 6. My head really does feel clearer, Im sleeping better and amazingly my eyesight is better than it has been for years! You have to understand that this is going to affect your life, but not necessarily in a bad way. Read as much as you can (this forum has been great for me but there are loads of other useful sites) as knowledge is power.Think positive Rich and look forward to the new you <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
