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. Although these threads are geared towards T2, they are pretty much for any one with diabetes and 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.

Read and learn all that you can on your condition. Learn to count carbs and to bolus for the food eaten with the blood glucose level prior to the meal. This is much better than the sliding scale that many doctors prescribe. Good luck with your control and management.
