Hello Angieb

Welcome to the forum. It is a shock when diagnosed and there are many members here still trying to accept it.
You will get much support here, but not specific medical advice - that's what your diabetic team should be doing.

You've made the first step by coming aboard.

Hello Angieb and welcome.

Ask all your questions here - we are all in this together. Don't worry about asking what you think are silly questions, they are not.

Hi Angie.........newly diagnosed myself. I have embraced this disease, but still have moments of 'why me?'. The changes you will need to make, are, in the main, good for you. See it as a new way of living, and make sure all around you, know of your lifestyle change.

Others may say different, but that's my advice.

Hi Angie, welcome! 🙂 It is a bit of a shock, take your time and don't expect to to learn everything and get everything right in a day, or week, or year! this is a great place to start tho'.

You'll find your own way. I have looked at their diet sheets, but have made my own choices. Look at the 'What did you eat today' thread, you'll get the gist of it.
