[QUOTE="OB87, post: 2331719, member: 532114"] Hi Timbob, I was recently diagnosed just before my 33rd birthday. Like you I have been reading up about the horror stories esp being diagnosed young. But 7 weeks in and I'm feeling a lot more positive. I test with a meter first thing in the morning and then before a meal and two hours after. It is very motivating to see the numbers as I wont have another blood test for awhile. I have reduced carbs to under 100g a day and that seems to work for me. My evening meals are more carb heavy than breakfast and lunch but I reduce my portion size compared to previously and I don't see high readings. I've lost almost two stone and feeling happier and healthier. Everyone seems to tolerate foods differently so a meter is a really useful tool. And there are lots of reduced carb options that I didn't know existed until recently ( wraps and bread etc) though they are more expensive. Good luck [/QUOTE]
