Hi Eve - welcome to the forum. We all have to start somewhere, taking care of ourselves.
What gave you the wake-up call? Have you seen your doc recently? Do you have a meter to test your blood sugar? Did you get some test results recently?
If you think that's the end of the questions, er .. .no - but that's a start
I had to start taking care of myself too earlier in the year when I found out I had uncontrolled diabetes. It can be done, that's the good news. The even better news, is how much better we feel once we've reined in the beast.
Glad you've joined us.
