Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="popsy" data-source="post: 454128" data-attributes="member: 85491">It is a nasty shock I have to say to find out that you are diabetic but I must say I was so relieved at first because it explained why I felt so absolutely dreadful! Andy is spot on as usual with his advice. Eating regularly is of paramount importance, you will learn to spot what works for you and what won't but without a meter it would be pretty impossible. My greatest tool is my meter and at first I used it almost constantly.One of my biggest regrets is that when I was first diagnosed I wasn't offered a meter as being on Metfomin only it is not considered necessary and knowing nothing about anything concerning diabetes I didn't even know what they were!  Complete and absolute rubbish imo! I am firmly of the opinion that if I HAD had one I could have controlled my diabetes with low carbing and maybe not had to step up my meds so soon. What's done is done though, that was then and this is now. Get a meter if at all possible.Come back here whenever you need to, there is always someone who has been there and done that and no concern is too trivial.Oh and check out the recipe section, there are loads of low carb recipes on there that would probably work for you. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
