Hi: Noobie

I too am new to this forum, I was only diagnosed 13 days ago with type 2. Diabetes, so am still a little shell shocked and confused. I am just getting my head round it. Everything is still very new to me.

My brother too has type 1. since he was 21 has had it fourteen years, I cannot imagine what it must be like to cope with that with all the injections and calculating dosages just reading about it is mindblowing. I am sure you cope admirably.

Fortunately i am not on medication yet just diet. One thing to remember though is, I control the diabetes it does not control me.

Good luck and welcome to the board I only joined two days ago.
