Hi all,

I was diagnosed a few weeks ago, but just today my doctor prescribed a BG monitor. So far so good.

But, I almost started crying in the grocery store today when reading the carb amounts in my favorite foods. Adjusting my daily diet will be difficult. Right now, I'm all about it, but I know that after a few weeks I'll be fighting it.

I look forward to reading all of the information and tips here in the Forums.

Sincerely,
Lisa

Welcome to the Forum!

Yes, diabetes does take some time to get used to, but taking care of yourself does pay off down the road.

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.
