I'm ready to be a good student, just don't have the help lined up, and feel like a lost gal. What are some "middle of the road" types of things, eaten in moderation? I was preparing to start WWatchers, but now wondering if I need to do something "otherwise"-more directed toward blood sugar. Someone even mentioned drinking Glucerna of the morning, a turkey sandwich for lunch, etc., but I feel I'm about to keel over. Make sense???

There are some people here attending WW, if you join be sure to tell them that it is suspected that you have diabetes so that they can make sure to watch you carbs.

Really it's about eating a healthy diet, testing is as far as I'm concerned your most important tool. It tells you what foods you can tolerate and which you can't so that you can learn and adjust your eating accordingly.

The book frank mentioned is excellent, easy to read and informative. It can be overwhelming at first, but it gets way easier. You see to have a positive determined attitude, that will stand to you.
