I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago after being pre diabetic for about 3 yrs! Been learning lots, going to nutrition & diabetes education and lost 8 lbs after the slap in the face I needed by being diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic:-(

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.
