The rise and fall

As of 6/8/09 I was diagnosed with diabetes. What a whirlwind I have been under.
The doctor gave me meds and a blood glucose meter to test 4x a day and sent me off.
Off I went to destinations of uncertainty, confusion, frustration,and utter despair.
I turned to the Internet for help and guidance. I went to the American Diabetes Association to gather information. I found the message boards there. This message board was very helpful with tips and recipes. I started watching my carb intake it has made a big difference as well as quantity. I know I have quite the journey in front of me. I am determined to get my blood glucose levels in control.

I found this blog at ADA message boards http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/
this blog is very helpful if any one needs some information I recommend it.
