I'm sure your recent diagnosis has made you feel plenty scared and uncomfortable. I was diagnosed as Type 2 in 2002, and I was afraid to eat anything, afraid not to eat, afraid of eating the wrong thing, etc. I was lucky that at the time I knew a dietician who helped me a lot.

As part of your diagnosis, did they offer any resources such as a dietician? Someone with professional education and experience can offer a lot of valuable advice that's tailored to your specific situation.

Best wishes to you. You got this!
