| Hi Michiko,
I was also recently diagnosed and had a similar reaction. I've found this site to be a wealth of information, great support, and lots of very positive outcomes in terms of people who have been living with diabetes for a long time, managing it well, and willing to share what they've learned. Lots of kindness too.
Learning about diabetes and what you can do about is one of best ways to deal with fear of the consequences. There's a lot more known about it now and much more support than in your mother's and grandmother's day.
Ask questions and let us know what's on your mind. Everyone is here to give and get help.
