Hmm, now in no particular order:
* Don’t panic. Being diagnosed with an incurable chronic condition is severely crap but all is not lost. With practice, knowledge and a bit of luck you can live with diabetes without too many problems. With good control it’s unlikely your feet will rot off just yet despite what people might say.
* However, you do need to take it seriously. Ignoring the ‘betes will result in disaster sooner or later…
* Speak to other diabetics. Opinion and knowledge ;
