Been diabetic since '93. Have never been very good at controlling it. I have reached "critical mass" and have developed several serious complications. Gastroparisis, severe neuropathy, retinal bleeding, not to mention carpal tunnel syndrome and frozen shoulder. I'm a mess! I'm hoping to get a better handle on it with help.

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.
