[QUOTE="Synonym, post: 111393, member: 22966"] Hello Dippy and welcome! When we receive the diagnosis of Diabetes I think that we all go through a kind of grieving process to start with. :( It is a shame but not something you need to be ashamed of! My son commented, “Poor you, you’re broken” and I think that was a good summing up of how I felt especially as I was very helpfully told by the DN that it will all get worse from here on. I know now that this was not true as I have used the information and personal experiences of the members on this forum to help me along the road to controlling my bg levels and life is slowly getting better. I think that the members on this site are undoubtedly a good cross-section of the general population. If you look at the postings on this site you will see how little is known by those who are newly diagnosed with diabetes and in turn that will give you a very good idea of how little the general population knows about it. When you look at all the mis-information that is put out in adverts to frighten everyone into eating what is considered a healthy diet (for non diabetics) and also the mis-information that is shovelled out at the newly diagnosed then it is no wonder we are all confused about diabetes. :? At this point one can almost feel sorry for your abusive colleague at work who is clearly very ignorant and has no idea that he has shown himself as rude and arrogant too. But not quite, as anyone behaving so badly is hardly worthy of such a kind thought! :roll: If you add in the fact that T2s are actively discouraged from testing and taking control of their condition then it is no wonder that we all put on weight unless we get help from others who have already trodden the path we now find ourselves on. And some of us feel pretty badly let down by those who couldn’t read the signs and had a really tough time in getting diagnosed in the first place! In any case you seem to have started to get a grip on your particular situation and this is the place to get the help and support you need. If a part of you is broken you don’t keep pushing that part to do what it can’t. My body can’t deal with starchy carbohydrate so I don’t eat it! Simples!? :lol: [/QUOTE]
