Try and get to a diabetes clinic/councillor and a dietician.

Oh sorry @A DiabetesTeam Member.how are you now?
I need advise and help. Was not given any indication by the doctor on how I should proceed and what I need to do now. Was told only to take meds twice a day. No eating plan, what I should avoid or any other information.
Totally stressed out. Have no idea where to now. My blood sugar level at the examination was 12.4 with traces of ketones and blood in urine test. Glucose was 3+ in the urine test
Please help!!
My blood pressure was 150/90
Be very astute about what you teach yourself in regards to TYPE1 DIABETES. BE PATIENT AND ERR ON LESS IS BETTER.
I have read that certain supplements ( evening primrose oil) and a Tens machine can help with PN. Has anyone tried these? Do they help?
Tens units are good for muscle pain, like tendonitis, carpal tunnel and alot more.
