[QUOTE="Lofrina, post: 2330026, member: 508344"] Hello there Winston. I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and it is quite a shock. This is my first post on this forum and have no experience of diabetes at all. Nothing in the family. At the moment I am feeling very guilty and embarrassed and have only told my husband and daughter.. I too have not been very careful with my diet over the years (I have a terrible sweet tooth) but I am determined to get to grips with this and hope to be able to do it by diet. I have been told by the diabetic nurse that 50% effort is diet and 50% exercise. I have been given 12 weeks to get on the road by myself and then they will test again. You have a head start of me, I think, because you have knowledge and a better understanding than I do. I dothink it is important not to let this get you down and personally, I am going to do my best to get active and beat this. I think I must be older than you (I am74) so if an oldie is going to do her best to sort it then I hope you will be able to as well.Good luck with the journey Winston. You can do this. [/QUOTE]
