Hello, I'm Elisa and I have just been diagnosed with Diabetes 2 about a month ago. After the initial shock and fear I started reading about how to eat, exercise and take care of myself so I would reduce my blood sugar levels. I know I am still in the adjustment period but at least I am in normal ranges, exercising everyday and now I see this as an opportunity to take better care if my body and my family as we are all eating healthier now. I am very glad to see there is so much help and support out there, so I hope I will be able to share lots of success stories with the GB family

Welcome to the Forum!

It appears that you have a very good start on your control. Just in case that you may have missed some key points in your quest for information, please feel free to 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.
