Message: <blockquote data-quote="himtoo" data-source="post: 717212" data-attributes="member: 142835">Hi [USER=140176]@kat1989[/USER] it is really confusing at first and in the early days it is important to remember to take things 1 day at a time and that not everything will work perfectly every day -- a lot like life really.the numbers you have listed look very good 4.5-7.5 during the day is excellent and 6.5-8.0 for bed is great too.for a while after diagnosis your body can still be producing some insulin -- this is sometimes called "the honeymoon period".you are not producing enough on your own which is why you were diagnosed with a BG of 26.4.nobody will be laughing at you -- we are all here because we have the same condition and we all want to help.all foods we eat are converted to sugar by the body so being diabetic it is important to eat healthily but with an emphasis on food that converts to sugar more slowly wherever possible.green vegetables are a great example of this -- broccoli , green beans , spinach ,cabbage , etc.a lot of health care professionals advocate a high carbohydrate low fat diet as the way to eat but there are many here on this forum and elsewhere on other forums that advocate lowering and limiting carbohydrate intake to help avoiding spiking blood sugars as much as possible.it is important for you to read as much as you can on this and decide what sort of foods will assist you in the long term care of your health.keep posting and we will try to assist you.you are not alone !!   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
