Because I have state insurance my doctor doesn't spend time explaining anything. I was diagnosed Monday the 13th. Will anyone please take the time and tell me what are the healthy numbers for my glucose. What foods do I stay away from? What do I do to survive?

your pharmacy is your new best friend ! They actually know more about tools than dr . Also check to see if your dr has a health / diabetes counselor.
