[QUOTE="Brie912, post: 1845534, member: 479038"] Hi, I'm 23 and diagnosed with T2 about 6 weeks ago. It was a huge blow because I'd started trying to look after my health already, was losing weight and felt the best I had for several years. I was embarrassed and didn't tell anyone for 2 weeks. I didn't want to tell my Dad because I didn't want him to be disappointed. But he was really good about it. I've not had any really bad reactions. At work I told my manager because I was worried about night shifts. She then told someone else without my permission, who told everyone. That was annoying because people kept asking if I was ok like they were expecting me to pass out at any moment and I wasn't ready for people to know, but I've not had any negative reactions. Diabetes isn't something to be ashamed of though. It can happen to anyone. It is overwhelming because there's so much to learn and some big lifestyle changes. Educate yourself. Most people go with a low carb high fat diet. There are loads of online recipes and I've been having fun trying new recipes. Very excited that I can still eat dark chocolate that's more than 70%.
