Which advice would you give to someone who has just been diagnosed with Diabetes?
See some advice from people with experience in Diabetes to people who have just been diagnosed with Diabetes
Best advice I can give you is make sure you have a doctor you like and are comfortable with. You may think a doctor is a doctor but it affects how you mentally cope with diabetes. In first few years a person is always ok but after that you may start having depression symptoms, and your doctor being a duche will only make it worse, and depression can get really serious with diabetes. My life would have been so much better, less stress, if I left my old doctor sooner.

Learn. Learn as much as you can about diabetes and how it affects YOU. The real secret to living successfully with diabetes is to understand what works and what does not work for you personally. It takes quite a bit of study and experimentation. It also helps to have good support. Find that support wherever you can. For me, some of the best support has been through the diabetic online community.

It may seem impossible to get your levels under control but patience and doing what the dr says is the best way to cope with diabetes.

Don't panic, don't try to learn everything at once, diabetes is the rest of your life so that's a lifetime to learn and even make mistakes but also always remember that your body is now your most precious thing because if you don't look after it, it won't look after you.

You may feel like your unbreakable but things catch up to You! Please take this disease seriously... i was close to death before I did. Take it one say at a time and always put up a fight. Your body is now your worst enemy so prepare for war.

It is really scary and depressing at first, but it does get better. I know, that's the most basic thing I could every say to you, but that's honestly how it is. You do get used to it, but not very easily. It takes time, and the best thing you can do is to take care of yourself, drink lots of water, and remember to take your medication.

First do the carb counting course so you know your food intake and with units of insulin to take.
