Sorry I just have to share with people who will understand my joy! I'm very newly diagnosed, this week in fact! My levels were very high- as far up as 29. But I'm so pleased that today I have managed to get as low as a 7!
Already I'm feeling so much better! And of course I have been emotionally upset with the news I'm diabetic but any things is better than the way I have been feeling for the past month or so!
 
That's great news. Onwards & upwards, eating the right things in the right portion size can make a world of difference. The main thing is your health will only get better.

Yes and since we talked about low carbs I tried having egg and bacon and other low carb ideas and I would say I have (in such a small space of time!) seen the difference
 
Goodness , that is fast ...did you feel unwell as your numbers dropped so fast ...
Well done though ...pleased for you
 
Thank you! No I have actually felt much better. I think part of that has been mental attitude, that I'm just so happy to have a reason why I have been so very awful! Now I just need to gain the knowledge of a long term lifestyle change.
 
Congratulations! (On the BS drop). I found as you I felt so much better once I was in control of my BS.
I found that many 'niggles' I had were related to high BS and getting into control made my life so much better.
Yes it is a depressing diagnosis to be told that you have a Diabetic condition, that said I had Diabetes before
the diagnosis. Once diagnosed I could do something about it.

Again well done!
 
Hello and welcome to the forum

Yes that's the key, knowing what to eat that's not going to cause high levels. Your a ★

Don't get me wrong I know I'm very new to this and I'm sure I will be up and down but There's no option but get on with it and try! Stay positive
 


I get this, I felt so bad for so long before I was diagnosed. I felt relief when diagnosed, and it became something that I could manage. Well done with the BG, it's a journey, but one worth taking. You will have high points and low points in this journey, one high point for me was snowboarding without issues or stress which I achieved last month, we can do anything normal!
 

This is why I'm pleased it have found this forum so early. Positive stories like yours

My diagnosis aged 38 in Jan 2013 was a hammer blow, I found that I needed to be self sufficient on this subject as I simply didn't know any other people who had a similar experience This place is great for advice, and there is a lot of good info on the web, so welcome, and ping me if you want advice.
 
Thank you so much! X
