I am new here, and just found out I have type 2. Seems as if I have had it for a long time(a1c=9.2%). I have gotten a new meter (ultra mini) and bought the software for it(which is really cool). It has made tracking all my readings easy, the doc was even impressed with the reports I printed out and took to him. Went to the doc today and found out I have "lost light touch sensitivity in my toes and foot". I am kind of worried about that one. Anyway I have gotten the calorie counting down but still cant wrap my head around this carb counting thing. Anyone got any tips or tricks on that one? Any other advice or tricks would greatly appreciated.

hello bobster,
Welcome to the group.  Congrats for your progress so far. Go to www.CalorieKing.com & you can order a book that lists most foods and their grams of carbs, fats, & calories.  It is only about $11.00.  I think thie will help you much.

Hi Bobster.                                                                     My youngest daughter was diagnoised with type 2 about 3 mo. ago. Oh yes, things sure get confusing. We just went to our first class yesterday. The dr set it up. Very helpfull. Next week we get into the diet issues. Welcome to a wonderful group. Very caring and helpful members here.  Take Care, Shirley

Thank You , Travler !!   Just got into the CalorieKing.com site. Evere soo helpful & just what we were looking for. Myself I'm not diabetic,, but daughter is. I'm Epileptic( & other illnesses) & its kinda important that I have my meals at same time. When daughter and I both have dr appts its an all day things. Usually comes to eating out. This is just what we were looking for as for what to have later on in day and so on. Thanks Again !!    (((Hugs))) Shirley
