Message: <blockquote data-quote="himtoo" data-source="post: 1425630" data-attributes="member: 142835">Hi [USER=391597]@Hollieo4[/USER]welcome to the forum !! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />my very first bit of advice would be to try ( hard I know ) to take things really slowly.at first it is so much to take in and the worry starts as well..............<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />and you can only learn and adjust in real time.over the next few months you will get to see a consultant , hopefully you will be sent on a carbohydrate counting course ( which will then allow you to adjust your insulin to what you eat )do ask your diabetic nurse about the carb course ( they usually want you to wait 6-12 months before putting you on one.)edit to add -- don't worry -- treats and alcohol will make their way back into your diet over time ( no need to rush though )hopefully you will also make some good friends on here as well -- it really is a good place to get support from like minded people.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />all the best !!</blockquote>
