New type 2 and man what a change

[type2lifechange33]

Hello everyone, Its so nice to have a place to go and chat with people that are going through the same thing as I am. I was told back in october that I had diabetes. with a lot of hard work and change to my eating i was able to just stay on the meds and didnt need to be put on insulin. I can say it hasnt been easy as you all know and it would be nice to talk to people what understand the up and downs we all have.

You are 100% right. No one understand us and how hard it is to eat right. What bugs me is when u go low and ppl are like tell me what it feels like. Instead of helping me and getting juice

Hi, welcome - it's great on here getting both hard information and also sharing experiences with others in similar circumstances to you. I wouldn't be without it.

Hi and welcome. I had read the forum before joining and felt very at home. With people you know in everyday life, you get a lot of 'oh yeah Diabetes..so and so has it' and things like that. But if you tell them what it does to you, some just dismiss it. They think that medication takes it away but it doesn't. It's more complex than that. I've got a great friend and good family though and that helps. I appreciate forums like this. The wealth of knowledge and advice goes a long way.

Hi type2 and welcome to the forum. Yes, diabetes is certainly a life change. Let us know if there's anything we can help with - ask lots of questions if you need to.

People have said to me, "I know people who used to have diabetes."
