please help me im at my wits end with something so stupid and iv driven it into an obsession!
i was recently diagnosed with diabetes and have been completely lost as to what to eat.
I posted a topic in the diabetes group called food and it has had me close to eating kitchen bleach.
I just dont understand all the information and i tried to politely ask them to stop posting cos it was getting too much for me but they wont stop. and im so stupid, i read the updates when they come through without even looking. Now i have shed enough tears and I just want them to stop posting please, how i can i make them understand how serious this silly post is for me?

if the thread is out of hand for you, .. ignore it. It will sink into the depths of DS history.

You should take such advice from your doctor, anyway. I suggest your forget anything in that thread, and do exactly what your doctor tells you.

I remember these days. I too am diabetic and it took so long to try and feel comfortable about what I was eating. The secret is portion sizes. It is also to watch out for the obvious. Candies and sweets and things of the such. Use orange juice to bring your sugar up. The best advice I can give is to see a nutritionist. Insurance covers them for diabetics. In the meantime..avoid whites as well. That covers bread and potatoes.
They bring the sugar up quickly. Hang in there...you will catch on.

Well you have to take it slow I is a lot to learn hun just don't go to the group and read your post so many are trying to help , but to much to fast is hard to deal with I may suggest that you go to different Google sites and have your Dr talk to a dietician they will help I was DX last year with Type 2 also and I found all kinds of support sites then you can learn at your own pace and not feel so overwhelmed . I hope this helps you can PM me also i will help the best i can hugs.
