New Me
Posted on July 2, 2007 at 9:09am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I have just joined this site. I have been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am 30 years old and a mother of two. This has been a slight shock to me. It has been a lot to deal with. My doctor hasn't sent me to a diabetic educator yet. I am not sure how much carbs I am suppose to eat at a meal. I have been going on what is considered average. 60 grams at 3 different meals and 30 at one snack.
I guess that is all for now.

- I was given very little about the diagnoses as well becasue my doctor thought that I already new enougth becasue it ran on both sides of my family. Well in some ways I did but really I didnt becasue the way they treated diabetes when my grandparents were alive is totally diffrent than today. So really I did not know much. Then my doctor got mad at me because I was trying to get as much info as possible to educate myself since he wasnt going to help me. I was able to finally get a diffrent family doctor and I am now seeing an a specialist for my diabetes it took some time to get into both of these new doctors but I am glad I am no longer with a doctor that does not want to help.

Is that a family crest? If you're in Nashua, we're almost neighbors. I work at Kronos in Chelmsford, MA.

- My 11-year old son was diagnosed with type 1 almost three years ago. And my sister (also a mother) was just recently diagnosed with type 2. Like you, she was given very little information about the condition.
I'm sure this all feels overwhelming, and more than a little scary, but joining this community will help-- so many folks willing to share information and resources.
