new lifestyle

My 12 year old and I were both recently diagnosed with Type 2.  For me, a lot of the issue seems to be self-blame--if I'd done a better job...then maybe this wouldn't have happened.  For my daughter, it is more the "I don't want to stand out"--don't talk about the meds, the meter, the food, around her friends.  I've also noticed that the tendency to depression has come on strong.  So I am trying to do more for myself--eating better, walking, not being around the negative people in my life, and prayer.  I am also taking classes, and finding support groups (like this one online).  I want to set the best example I can.
