I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on Dec 22, 2009. I am on a wait list for an appointment at the diabetes centre - and I have been told there is a 3 month wait! I have been reading books and websites for information but I must say I am very happy to find community- especially the diabetes support forum. I stepped on the scales back in October and was 325lbs!
When I was diagnosed I was 312 and decided I haad serious changes to make. I am now down to 297!
I will be joining WW this week and am doing my best to follow a healthy balanced diet. Right now I am not on meds but my doctor may change that - I bring a record of my glucose monitoring in every week.
I have been reading and have found that there is a lot of information in these forums. I hope not only will I find support from all you but that I may lend my support as well!
