[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2479450, member: 511345"] hello and welcome, I second [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] 's comment- don't beat yourself up. My levels weren't as high as yours were but I'm older and have brought my levels down with just diet. It is possible and while I will admit I found it very challenging at first (real carb lover here) a couple of years later and I am fine- better than fine so it is absolutely doable. I found the key was diet more than exercise (though exercise is good too). I too was stressed and felt like I was going to die (and more dramatic than you I suspect.It took me more than 2 weeks after the diagnosis before I wasn't crying everyday.) Now thanks to this forum I am doing great. I know what foods I can eat-I eat them and it's all good- my levels are normal. So fear not. Have you got a meter? If not that's the first thing to get organised. The meter is the tool that will help you work out what foods your body can handle and what your body can't. Read around the forum and post. Good luck and welcome! [/QUOTE]
