New to diabetes
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.Carol C

Carol;
Welcome to the Forum!  Diabetes Education is your best friend. Read all you can about your condition. Start with the first three threads in the Type 2 Section. Good luck with your control and management.

I think this all very overwhelming at first, but can start to get much easier. Just was in hospital for ten days, now have to take insulin 4 x a day, so far so good. Good luck to you, keep it as simple as possible

Hello everyone! I have been managing my diabetes with exercise and diet for 5 years and suddenly my sugar jumped to 384. My levels are still really high and I hope my meds kick in soon. I am so scared and tired and I could use some support.
