[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 954759, member: 93179"] Hi, we all feel very much the same when we're first diagnosed whether our family are around us or not -so while you're alone please consider us to be your surrogate family/moral support group. Your diagnosis is a warning and is NO WAY a death sentence, and you have a good chance now of keeping your diabetes well under control. There's a lot you can do for yourself - including (as you're obviously aware now) cutting down on your sweeties, and other sweet and starchy foods. as these are what increase our glucose levels. As type 2 diabetics we can't/don't handle these types of food very well so we should do our best to reduce or avoid them in our diet. Do this in spite of what you may be told about eating carbohydrates by the diabetic nurse. Ask if you can have a meter and prescription for test strips, as checking your glucose levels before and after meals will help you to discover what foods are bad for you in this respect. Daisy's been tagged and she will post here with our standard forum advice to new members, for you. Robbity [/QUOTE]
