hey im bri and im new on here, about 2 weeks ago i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and ive been really scared about it so if theres anyone that can help me feel better i would be grateful. thanks

welcome.

there is a new living with diabetes group that was just formed..its for people like you who are new to the condition or others who have been around it for awhile. come join. we can help with questions and info.

its scary when you first get diagnosed...its a ton of info...most of which sound like..."blah blah blah...you're going to lose your leg, go blind, blah, blah, etc." true it can be serious but once things are under control and well monitored then things aren't so scary.

i've had type 2 for about 4 years now. some others in the group have had it for longer, some are recently diagnosed too. others are type one. so i am sure you will find someone who will be in a similar situation as you.

go to quick links and then scoll down to social groups.
