Subject: NBR - but need some advice....

I had some bloodwork/tests done on Jan. 11. On Tuesday, I got the results. I have Type2 diabetes. Needless to say, I am very bummed right now. This is not at all what I expected to hear. I'm really having a hard time dealing with the news. My doctor has advised losing 40lbs; 5-10 in four weeks. Unfortunately, we started talking about another issue I have - low iron, and I didn't ask for a diet. I have no idea what I can/cannot eat except no white rice, white bread, potatoes, etc. He did tell me to get a copy of the book on the South Beach diet.

I am almost in tantrum mode. If Butler wouldn't scratch the door until he scratched through, I'd go into my bedroom, lock the door, get in bed and not come out of the room. My paternal grandfather was a diabetic, and I know first hand what this is. I don't look forward to having to change my lifestyle - I like it fine the way it was.

Anyone here have any advice for me?

Thanks.....
