Greetings. I am newly diagnosed as my fasting Blood Sugar level was 127. I am, of course, not very pleased to be a diabetic. Being a proactive kinda guy, I came here and I am looking for information.
My big question is "what next" in the form of what I can expect. Perhaps I should have gone to the introduce yourself forum first but I was too impatient for that.
Can you all get me started in this discussion? Can you all help me figure out what symptoms I have that I thought, two days ago, were just normal 55 year old aberrations and what symptoms I have because I am diabetic?
Everything I have read thus far talks about diet but I need a little more than that. I don't eat much sweets, I never eat anything fried, I don't eat white anything and haven't for years. I exercise regularly (treadmill 5-6 times a week) and my weight, though not great, is not so bad for a guy my age.
I promise to be a frequent contributor to and supporter of the forum. Can some of you diabetic veterans shoot me some helpful info?
Thanks.
