Hello, my name is José, 51, and on Thursday 26 I learned that I am diabetic type 2. I was 250 in the morning and 300 in the afternoon at 7:00 p.m.They have made an analytical the next day and they have given me a leaf of "1,500 calorie diet.":-(, terrible because I ate at least one bar and a half of bread a day ...
They have also sent me to take half a "metformin" pill 3 times a day.
I have a meeting tomorrow with the nurse and the header.Anyway, I have no idea of ​​all this but I have the mood for the soils.

@pepeilloxgp Welcome, well you'll tell us how you go with the pills.
What I advise you to listen to the sport that you do everything you can, and if it is walking is a healthy sport, good walks.

Hello, I am also new, I was diagnosed with diabetes on Friday 27. I have not passed with the endocrine.I insulin and I am very scared.And I have the sensation of no one of the people around me understand anything.

@pepeilloxgp @mariajo welcome to the forum, ask everything you need that we are all here to help us.
Mariajo is difficult to start, but do not scare yourself and think that as with anything new it takes time for acceptance and learning.About feeling in

On feeling misunderstood, perhaps no one but another diabetic is able to understand you 100%, but they will be by your side and support you in the best way they can, it is also difficult for those who live with us!So little by little ... and try to take everything with the patience and calm that you can, much encourage and here we are all fighting in the same team, to help, listen and unfold from time to time that it is not bad.

Thank you very much Gema, I guess I will get used to it, and I will learn to live with this disease, but my moral is now on the floor.

@Mariajo It is normal for you to feel like that, you have to start living with something you do not want, that you did not look for and without replica option, it is a lottery that touched us without even buying a ticket.There are those who take it better and who worse, and it takes their time and takes it in their own way, but you have to be strong and try to encourage you.
If you are reading the forum you will see things to get to know the disease more, read experiences and find people with all kinds of opinions, because although we all have diabetes, we are all different.
Surely you will get used to it.And now that you start trying to learn everything, asking what is not clear about diet, insulin ... etc and all the things that explain you in the hospital.And for everything else and doubts from day to day, here we will be;)

@Mariajo welcome what you say is so, it is how the companion Gemater tells you, nor many doctors understand us, the only ones who can understand you well will be the ones who take it like you, or those who are many years with a diabetic.
