Hello,
I was recently diagnosed pre-diabetic.
I was wondering if there are any tutorials or posts dedicated to getting an individual up to speed on diabetes.
Specifically, establishing a blood checking routine, when to check and what to look for.
What to eat, when to eat and how to eat.

I've already learned a great deal after browsing a few threads.
For example, I did not know that your liver could do a glucose dump while you sleep. Alarming!!
I am also learning that a person's disease can be unique and singular to that individual. Also a little alarming!

After only a day this site has been a God send.
I am currently experiencing a storm of floaters in one of my eyes and I have learned that this has nothing to do with any blood sugar issues and is possibly age related. I am 50 yo.
This knowledge relieved a LOT of stress.

Are there individuals here who live carb free?
Is this possible or healthy?
I have bowl of oatmeal at breakfast? Is this bad?

I thank God that there is an internet that I may come in contact with and interact with the obviously compassionate and loving people I am seeing that frequent this site.
