First- it will be ok! Take a deep breath and know that it will be ok.

Second- get educated! That’s probably why you are here. You were looking for information about diabetes and found lifeunder7.  Hopefully you will want to stick with me as my goal is to provide you what you need to know. I will still advocate for seeing a Diabetes Educator in person but I also know we live in an age of convenience and information at our fingertips which is what I hope this blog can be for you. Informative and comprehensive, yet brief.

Third- get support! A good doctor (this is crucial), supportive family and friends and maybe even someone who has diabetes who can help you through these first few months.

Last- it will be ok! My next few blogs will be the basic NEED TO KNOW about general diabetes education.
