@enska I am glad that you found Mayo Connect. Please keep us in touch because we do care. We are in the diabetic situation too. If there is a question we can answer or if we can just stay in touch, we are here. I'm glad you have a Nurse Practitioner who is helpful. Sometimes if someone working with us will just let us get our frustrations out and tell us what to do, we can be more determined to be in control. It's great that you got a good eye report. Diabetes can cause problems, but most are preventable if you follow a routine and are ruling it instead of letting it rule you. I'm glad you are with us and so glad you did not delete. Nothing is too foolish to ask. It's just foolish not to. Knowledge is power.
Have another good day tomorrow.
Carol

Just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last week, but very sick and lost 20 lbs over the previous 2 months. Am dealing with tummy pain and jitters, night sweats, numb tingling feet (when they are not hot and burning!). I'm weak and shaky.. wondering how long this will last until the meds begin to help me. What foods will set best with my tummy? Eating anything usually makes that worse. Looking forward to feeling better! I am 76 years old. Have cut out all sugar and that helped with the feet burning I think. I watch my carbs very carefully and don't seem to crave them. Which vegetables could be upsetting my tummy? I do like veggie soups and make it often. Is cabbage a no no? Tomatos?
Thanks for any help/advice you can offer..
