[QUOTE="PerfectStorm, post: 954903, member: 177771"] Hi Emma. I was diagnosed in April at age 35 too and like you was terrified. I have a son who at the time was only 18 months and I was so scared that I would get complications and not live to see him grow up. I sobbed buckets too. I'm now a few months on, am controlling things well with a low carb diet, have lost 2 stone (am looking great if I do say so myself) but more importantly, my blood glucose levels are in the normal range. I'm also enjoying food. I'm not scared anymore. Stop googling diabetes and complications and risks, it will not help you and will make you feel worse. I know from experience! Stick around on this site, there's a lot of helpful people with great advice. [/QUOTE]
