Message: <blockquote data-quote="valann" data-source="post: 2542674" data-attributes="member: 556353">Hi [USER=559519]fieldsing[/USER],Firstly welcome to the forums. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />So you are already cutting out junk foods and carbs and walking, well done you that is a great start.I have to agree with the others, if someone doesn't want to date you simply because you are diabetic then they don't deserve you and aren't worth bothering about. No one asks for diabetes, you certainly didn't nor did we, so we just have to deal with the hand we are given and you are making a great start in that, so please stop beating yourself up over it.As diabetics most of us lead a perfectly normal life, going out, meeting people maybe dancing, singing, visiting new places etc there is nothing really to stop you from traveling if that's what you want to do. Yes you do have to shop around for travel insurance but it can be found, even annual cover.The main things that have to change is our eating habits and exercise.May I ask do you have a blood glucose testing machine? If not then I recommend you get one, that way you can see which foods you are ok with and which ones you are not. Looking forward to reading more of your posts. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
