I was told I had typeII diabetes on April 21,2010. So I searched and found this forum and I've been lurking for awhile to learn more about how to tame the sugar monster inside me.
I call it a sugar monster because that seems to help me get over the fact that I can't eat certain things now. Those things just feed the monster or at least wake him up. It's a visual aid for me to make it easier to not want to eat those things.
I'm a little over weight but not obese. As an active person I really won't have problems with my diet and exercise. I will just need to change up my diet and exercise with something else as a goal now.
After reading how people have been able to manage their diabetes it's encouraging to see that with work I will soon get my BSL down to a normal level that will be easier to manage. (The first time I tested I was at 220, fasting)
I'm just at a point now where I need to educate myself on what I need to do to get there.
Diabetes doesn't scare me. It's just something in my life that was dealt to me and all I can do is make the best of it.
Since I'm new to this whole diabetes thing I really won't be much help on the forum but I wanted to get out of the lurker status and at least introduce myself in case one day I do have info. I can offer.
