Oh, that sounds like how I felt when diagnosed...! Good news then: You're not about to keel over any time soon, and there's LOADS you can do yourself to get your blood sugars back into the normal range. Even without medication! You're not on a runaway train here, you've got the brakes available if you want them, as you just have to make a few changes in diet. Simple, no? @xfieldok already referred you to The Nutritional Thingy, and I'm hoping that'll put your mind at ease some. You're going to be okay. I wish someone'd told me that when I thought I had one foot in the grave (with the unrelenting fatigue I would've halfway welcomed that rest!), but yeah. You'll be fine. And you'll get your energy back too. I promise.Hi all was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes yesterday and today I feel so worried about what is happening to me I'm worried I'm going to die I would love some advice on how to cope with being diabetic I feel lost and confused with what to eat feeling tired all the time hope to hear from people don't no what else to do
Thank you so muchWelcome. Do you know what your hba1c was?
Read the link in my signature. There are loads of things you can eat, just a little differently. Have a look at diet doctor.com for some ideas.
You are going to be fine. Ask all the questions you want.
