Another Daft T2D Q from Quill! :)

Hi I was diagnosed just before Christmas at reading 49 so I am trying to go into remission with cutting carbs losing a bit of weight and I will be tested beginning of march …I was devastated…especially when it sunk in the life changes that would have to be made worst of all I had thought I was fitter than I had been in a long while how wrong could I be ….when you get over the shock and start creating a plan it gets better and you feel a bit more in control…but I don’t think life goes back to before this is the new normal being much more aware about what you consume and what you do ….this diabetes uk has been the biggest and best help and helped me to see with my numbers I’m lucky and got a chance to take control before complications come into it …..I hope you get on well with your next test keeping my fingers crossed for you
Thank you lovely and likewise for your next test in March.
It’s definitely thrown me off kilter and I agree life is looking a bit different already but I’m trying to learn as much as I can so I can get it right in my head and hopefully reverse it as much as I can 🙂
