Newly diagnosed..
 

Hello everyone,

I was diagnosed in December 1st with type 2 diabetes. I am 42 years old and wasn't feeling well for about 2+ months...finally went to the doctor when I couldn't go more than a hour without going to the bathroom. I was tested and sugars were at 440. I'm on meds now and actually heading to the doctor tomorrow for a checkup to see how I'm doing as this is all still pretty new. My sugars are much better now with occasional lows. Scariest part for me was my vision changing and nearly being blind for a week before I could get to my eye doctor!

Anyway, just wanted to say hello. This has all been overwhelming at times but I'll figure it out :) Happy I found this app and forum!!

Thanks for reading :)

Welcome to the Forum! :)

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

Thank you for the reply and info! I will check out those posts :)

You are welcome! If you have any questions, just ask.
