| | Hi zippy and welcome to the forum 
Being newly diagnosed can be very overwhelming, so you've definitely come to the right place for some support and helpful advice.
Tell us a little about yourself. What type are you and where are you from?

| | | Iam a type two and use lantus and am working with a R.D.A. who is adjusting the insulin as I go along.Iam Canadian if my EH did not give it away. Iam from Hamilton Onatario.I really just want to stop the insulin and just do without after I loose weight. Weight got me into this mess in the first place and now Iam paying the price. I just hope I can get off it because I dont like being sick. |

| | | hi Zippy, i hear your frustration...best advice is to start watching your carbs and exercise more...hopefully you will come off the insulin...hang in there...

| | | Welcome
First off you're not sick.
Second your weight didn't give you diabetes.
You have a chronic condition that with care will drop into the background of your life and at worst be irritating at times.
Again, Welcome
