| | | Greetings, Newbie from Florida
Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and said Hi!
I've just been diagnosed Type 2 and will probably have tons of questions. This is going to be a long learning experience for me as I'm having a hard time with the diet issue as well  I hope to benefit from all the knowledge and members here and maybe make a few friends along the way  |

| | | Sarasota waving hello.
I'm just over 1 year it this.
Questions are good.
And you have one monsterous learning curve in front of you. Seems we're all a little different as to what we can eat, how we medicate. Stuff like that.
But, you'll get there. We all did.
Again, Welcome

| | | Welcome - relative newcomer here too. There is a wealth of information here but even more than that - when you get overwhelmed, there is support. No question is too basic. |

| | | G'day Becks, It's a pity we have to have D to have found this place. It must be one of the few positives about the D.
Hang in there with the diet issue as it will get better over time , especially when you see the results

| | I can't thank you all enough for all the welcomes It's just SO frustrating since I'm dealing with alot of meds for my asthma/allergies/cholesterol and high blood pressure. I'm praying that perhaps the bp med might drop out of the cocktail soon.
Comforting to know you all are so nice |
