The most important thing as far as I've found is to work out how you react to things like exercise, drinking, different foods etc, and don't stop doing what you were doing pre-diagnosis, just work out how you will adapt your life now. So I haven't stopped going out and drinking with friends, I just drink a bit less,test more often and have worked out now how many carbs I need to have for each drink to keep my BS more or less level, and how much I can drop overnight etc. Same with exercise, test before and after, work out how your body tends to react and don't overdo it.Overall, I'm trying to see this as something that is just making me take better care of myself anyway, eating better, drinking less, exercising more. But i'm still new to it all too, so I guess it's just taking one day at a time at the moment!</blockquote>
