koomahiIt's only early April and this year has already been..wild. I turned 40, got surprise diagnosed with diabetes, changed my entire diet and exercise habits, got my glucose under control (with the help of medication), feeling like a 1000% better, steadily losing weight and just started an online running program. Running. Program. Me? That one I did not see coming honestly (and if I tell enough people about it I can't just quit 
)
Grumpy Old Techie 🕊️@koomahi Yes exercise makes a huge difference even just walking for a few minutes after a meal.
Also - every body is different, measure the effects of different foods. I had some very surprising results esp. with artificial sweeteners.
Try to stay in control, some meds can make you go too low if you skip a meal. Really low blood sugar (<3.5mmol/l) is a terrible feeling.
At first it can feel overwhelming but once you figured out your diet, meds and exercise it is OK

@grumpyoldtechie Thanks for the tips! I'm a little bit scared of actual lows, I've had relative hypo before and that already feels horrible. Luckily my medication plan is quite cautious so risk of actual hypo is pretty low. Experimenting and learning as I go.
