As with a previous newbie, I'll be general. I suggest you
find out as much as you can about your disease - how and
when to measure your blood glucose, what the figures mean,
what other checkups to do - such as eyes, kidneys, blood
pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc - what to eat;
the power of excercise, losing weight - basically on the
need to modify your lifestyle. Get yourself a good
diabetic specialist - one who doesn't say "I wouldn't
worry about this....."
Stay on this newsgroup - there a lot of good people here
with a lot of good information. Beware of quacks, scammers
and spammers - there's nothing to stop them from pushing
their [censored] here. You'll soon know who the reputable
posters are. (I've been reading this newsgroup daily for
almost ten years - it's prolonged my life).
