I found out that am type 2 diabetic. I need help!?

How can you tell when your surgar is getting high? I am sweating all the time and tingling in feet and legs. I even feel sick to stomache. Also would love to know of any good snacks that I can eat. Having hard time understanding labels. Would love some help with it. Are there any good support groups on yahoo?

You really need a blood glucose meter so that you can test yourself and see if your blood sugar is high or low. After 20 years of diabetes I STILL get deceptive symptoms, so I have to test. I feel sick to my stomach when my sugar is high, but I get sweaty and shaky when my sugar is low. Find out which kind of glucose meter and test strips your insurance will cover and get one. And sign up with the American Diabetes Association, so that you can get their monthly magazine, Diabetes Forecast-- helpful articles for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. It's scarey at first, but you'll feel better physically and mentally when get educated about diabetes and are in more control. The best snacks to have on hand for "lows" are dried fruits like raisins, and orange juice. You can get glucose tablets also in a drugstore pharmacy to keep at school or work. Good luck! 8-)
