[QUOTE="dancer, post: 954745, member: 110569"] I'm Type 1 but I'm sure some Type 2s will be along shortly. Diabetes is not a death sentence. It is a serious condition but if you take care of yourself you will be fine. Possibly you will be told to try losing weight first and your blood sugar may return to normal levels (that's what happened to my husband). Ok, it means changing your way of life - no more sweet addiction! - but it's worth it. OK, if you end up on medication, that also becomes a way of life. My oldest brother has Type 2 and takes tablets twice a day but he says it's no problem. This has been a shock for you and not having your husband there will make it seem worse. You're still missing your mum and it's to be expected that you feel upset. There's a lot going on in your life but diabetes is something you will get used to. Someone will tag daisy 1(sorry, I don't know how to do that) and she will give you useful information. This forum is a great way of finding out information and getting advice, so welcome . . . and stop worrying, it could be a lot worse than just having diabetes! [/QUOTE]
