[QUOTE="Ushthetaff, post: 2211025, member: 429002"] Hi welcome to the club , not the one you really wanted to join but your in it now and as you will find out better off for it. Diabetes is an absolute minefield at first , and now there is so much information it can be confusing to say the least. he first thing to say is try not to panic. It takes time to get use to your body as you have to look at it slightly different to before. even though you may think it now diabetes isn’t a jail sentence , as many here have said try and go on the carb counting course it will help , as far as the night time hypos are concerned very few people have hypos in the night that they don’t wake up from, something to do with the liver bumping up your blood sugar , ive had diabetes 40 years and I don’t know the technical jargon for it but why should I lol I just know it does it. Good enough for me. By joining this forum you have probably made the biggest step as it means you are willing to talk , and as you will find out there’s a lot of talking goes on here and I would say most of it is excellent. It’ll take time but I and hundreds on this forum can assure you it does get easier , but to coin a phrase an old foreman of mine used “ don’t try to eat the whole elephant” think it means don’t try to do everything at once. ( hmm now thinking what eating a whole elephant would do to my blood sugars lol) Anyways welcome and all the very best on you new journey and don’t worry it will all be ok [/QUOTE]
