Hi another new starter

[having a go]

Hello I have had type 2 for four years now and thought I was controling it, but have recently realised its been controling me. Ive realised that you cant minipulate it to keep your sugars down which has led creating hard personal problems. but now understand how to control it a bit to late for me personal life but better for my health. not confused any more

Welcome in, I'm glad you're getting yourself on track now. We all know how hard it can be not just to manage the big stuff, but also all the little day to day things that crop up to slap us. If we can help in any way we'll be delighted to do so, there's usually someone online who has had a similar experience to offer support with whatever is going on. I'm going to shift this into the new chums area so it won't get lost among all the other stuff in here.

Hi, welcome to the forum 🙂 Glad to hear that you've decided to get back on track and control it, instead of the other way around. People here have all sorts of experience, and also know about all the ups and downs, so please ask anything you're not sure of. Or, if you want, let off steam (just keep it clean please! 😉)

I often find it useful to 'go back to basics' and read a good book - many Type 2s here have recommended Type 2 Diabetes: The First Year by Gretchen Becker (amazon link). Although you are a few years down the road, there may be things in there that give you a few 'lightbulb' moments and help you. There are many other useful books in our 'Recommended Books' section, so have a browse!
