[QUOTE="Bogie, post: 2077755, member: 185765"] Welcome to the exclusive lifetime-membership club of Diabetes. You have come to the right place peer advice and a massive wealth of experience. A business coach I once knew had a great piece of advice, [I]"Why start climbing at the bottom of the ladder if you can start half way up?"[/I]. The estimate as to how many people do not know that they have either pre-Diabetes or definitely Diabetes is because of the lack of symptoms. It isn't like a cold or the flu and comes as a shock to most when told that their blood tests indicate that you are Diabetic. As others mentioned, the 1st order of business is to get a meter and start watching the effect that your food choices have on your BG. I have never understood why so many doctors and endocrinologists tell you that you do not need to monitor. The finger pricking is almost painless most of the time. Consider it as an investment in your health, well-being, and future life. [I]"I am a Diabetic. What is your super-power?"[/I] [/QUOTE]
