Why am I still shocked when I read stories like this about nurses / doctors?I have set my goals to exactly the same as you because I too have no idea of what they should be.As time goes on and you get your diabetes under control, you may be able to reintroduce certain foods back into your eating regime, depending on your meter.For instance, 6 months ago I couldn’t eat even one strawberry.  Now I can eat 3 huge ones or 6 small ones with cream.Yes, you will always be diabetic, and I understand it is often genetic unless you have damaged your pancreas. (I know I will be corrected on this  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ).  However, you will be able to live life without the fear of amputation or blindness, just by choosing the right food to eat.It’s mindset thing, to a degree. If you were gluten or lactose intolerant, or allergic to nuts, you wouldn’t think twice about avoiding foods containing those things.  So cutting carbs down and not eating a bag of crisps or a whole slab of chocolate ( my kryptonites) will become a way of life.*picks up her soapbox and departs*</blockquote>
