Hey i'm new to this site, and new to diabetes type 2, i was rushed to hospital this passed weekend 8/21/2011 not knowing i even had this, i had very bad pains in my chest, made my breathing shallow, i was admitted, and then all test were done, i'm still in shock, they found i'm a diabetic my AIC was 10 and Blood sugar was 300 also i have very high blood pressure, and high colestrol, i was not feeling to good at all. This is very over whelming, i'm scared cos now i have to change my lifestyle eating habbits The hospital is teaching me what i need to do, i'm on so many meds right now, i went from never being sick for years, to this, think the pain in my chest was a wake up call. The hospital says they think i had diabetes for a year and did not know, yes i knew i was thirsty also, but i thought it was cos of the heat, and yes very tired all the time, i never go to Dr unless i really needed to, but i wish i had. I'm worried on what to eat, very worried right now.
