Hello!

[Elliott99]

Just been diagnosed, and am wading through the "library" of stuff I need to know! All a bit overwhelming to be honest!

Welcome @Elliott99 🙂 Just go at a pace that suits you. It can be overwhelming but everyone here is supportive and helpful so do ask anything you want, no matter how ‘trivial’.

Thank You!

Welcome to the forum @Elliott99

Glad you have found us!

You are quite right, it can feel overwhelming, and like such a steep learning curve to begin with, but diabetes is generally a fairly sluggish foe, and you have time to find your feet, and gradually come to terms with things.

There’s a well-worn saying in these parts, that diabetes is ‘a marathon not a sprint’

The Learning Zone (the orange tab in the main menu) is a terrific resource, full of bite-sized modules which you may like to register for. But there’s no need to crash through them, just take things a little at a time, building on the knowledge you’ve already picked up.

And keep asking questions on the forum too. Nothing will be considered ‘silly’ 🙂
