Welcome to the forum @sharinBell1993
Did your diagnosis come out of the blue? Or is it something that has been building up for some time?
Do you have any diabetes in your close family, or has this come as a complete surprise?
Have you been offered any medication, or will you be seeing how you get on with diet alone to begin with?
Sorry for all the questions 🙂

Hi @sharinBell1993 and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that you've been recently diagnosed, we know it can feel overwhelming and challenging to say the least.
We have some information here on our website about coping with a diabetes diagnosis, where to look for support (besides here of course!) and what to do going forward: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/emotions/coping-diagnosis
As Jarralad said above, there's heaps of knowledge on here, and many people to support you 🙂 If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!
