Default new to diabetes

I was diagnosed with type 2 when I went for my pre-op to have an operation
I can't do exercises yet but due to watching what I eat my blood glucose is between 8-10 on my monitor so hopefully when fully fit and exercising it may settle

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.

Did your doctor prescribe and/or are you currently on any steroids?

If either of them is a steroid, they will drive your blood glucose up.

Default Take care :)

Hi willie2108,
I'm getting treatment for diabetes for more than 2 years. Recently I happened to read an article which is related to complications of diabetes and its precautions ( http://www.physiomobility.com/blog/k...complications/ ). I think, this is an aid for all diabetic patients. Felt like sharing. Hope this will help you. Take care
