Saw doctor today

Just had my yearly physical. I am now a full fledge diabetic. I have been on the pre-diabetic line for years, not anymore. I was depressed before due to family problems, this just added to it. Things are just not good.

I'm so sorry. Keep focusing on the positive things you can do to keep your blood sugar levels steady, and to stay in shape and keep your weight in check. There have been many at MFP who have lost weight to find themselves no longer classified as diabetic.

What will you do to change this outcome?

I am sorry about your diagnosis but be aware that it may not be a life sentence. Often type 2 diabetes is self inflicted and reversible with a healthy diet and exercise.

I wish you luck, use this as motivation.

I'm really sorry to hear this! Don't be depressed--think of this as an opportunity to get serious about your health for the sake of your loved ones. There are many diabetics in remission on these boards--start thread asking for their experiences.

I am going to have to buckle down and do some research on what to eat. I need quick and easy. I need something for breakfast that I can make at work when I get here. I need healthy lunch and dinner idea's that are quick and easy. I need healthy snack idea's. I just really have to do alot of work.
