[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 584202, member: 94045"] Hi Janine and welcome. I'm sorry you have been diagnosed (or not!) with diabetes on top of your other problems. Your levels are certainly within the diabetic range albeit not too bad. I have also had breast cancer with all of 2013 and a chunk of 2014 taken up with the treatment that entails. In fact, I blame my diabetes diagnosis entirely on this treatment. I digress. First of all, I suggest you buy a blood glucose meter. This is an essential part of controlling this disease as you can self test to check which foods you can or can't cope with. Then you need to plan a diet that you can sustain for the rest of your life. Have a good read through these forums. You will find loads of information about how carbs = sugar, and how and why they should be restricted in addition to the usual sugary suspects. Come back with any questions you have, and good luck.
