[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 546553, member: 41816"] That's pretty dire advice! Almost as if they can't be bothered... The things I have found to be the most effective are, in no particular order: [LIST] [*][url]http://www.bloodsugar101.com[/url] - a fascinating website that actually explains what happens to your body with diabetes, why, and how to handle it [*]Buying a blood glucose meter (I use the Codefree one. Testing strips and meter available on Amazon for about £22 to get you up and running). Most type 2s don't get given meters, so you are lucky! [*]Switching to a low carb healthy fat diet like this one [url]http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf[/url] [*]Reading the forums of this site. Priceless! [/LIST] Oh, and don't worry if you cycle through anger, depression, grief, etc for a while. It can take a while to get your head straight after diagnosis and this is perfectly normal and understandable. Hang on in there, it gets better, I promise! [/QUOTE]
