Welcome to the Forum!

I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Sadly we all wish that we would have started sooner. On a happier note, it looks like you are on the right track. Just learn to count carbs, exercise a lot and test often and you will get the hang of this in no time.

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.
