| Hey,
im in the same boat! I was diagnosed on the 24th July. just over a week ago. Only you're blood glucose levels were low compared to mine. when i walked into the clinic my levels were above 600. no one knows exactly what it was because the machine doesn't read higher than 33.5mm ol/L. after that it just reads HI, and thats what it did!!
It's a lot to learn and take in. But i've found this forums VERY helpfull. just reading around you will learn so much, and if you have any questions feel free to just ask, i've found everyone to be willing to answer anything you want to know. You will do yourself a favour by sticking around here! I know i have.
Good luck!
