So much to take in isnt there.

There is a very good book called The First year type 2 Diabetes by Gretchen Becker which explains things really well,

Have you been put on medication?

Diabetes can be a complex condition, but with a bit of effort and a bit of luck, you may be able to control it rather than it controlling you!

thank you for all your replys it is good to know there is people i can ask questions to on here. i am a bit of a complex case as the dotors think i am type 2 but there are running more test they think i might be inbetween type 1 and type 2 but i am not sure what that is called so just put type 2 on here. i am on metformin in the morning and gliclazide and metformin on a night. they are telling my that i am responding very well to the tablets so that is whey they are unsure as i have something in my blood that surgest i have type 1 but treatment is working for type 2. i am very confused with it all and dont really know what to do. the doctors have said that i should just carry on as i am but i am finding it hard to cope with the emotional side of things is there any advice you can offer how to be happy with this.
 
i found out in august last year when my dad was told he had diabetes i look on the internet for help for him and i found i had most of the syptoms but i thought it was just stress but it turns out i had diabetes as well.
