[QUOTE="test_positive, post: 287443, member: 45634"] I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 last week. And I'm so scared. I don't have any symptoms but the leaflets they gave me have left me feeling awful. I keep bursting into tears and I don't know how to cope. The leaflets talked about getting fit and losing weight so that I can chase after my grandchildren in the park. But I am 42 with 3 young children (6, 3 and 6 months) and I read all this and think I am not going to live to see them grow up. I'm reading what I can on diabetes and have bought a glucose meter. My reading hardly seems to go down at night and I am desparing. And I know it makes no difference now but I really wonder how I ended up with diabetes. I used to exercise regularly, have a BMI of 25 (borderline overweight but not large), ate reasonably healthily, didn't smoke (note this is all in the past tense because I feel like the old me has died). And relative's reactions along the lines of "oh, is that because you've been eating too much sugar" just make me feel worse. Why Why Why [/QUOTE]
