Hi everyone,

I’m new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last month, and as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. My BMI is still high at 34 kg/m², and I know I have a long road ahead when it comes to both managing my weight and this new diagnosis.

Right now, I’m in that early phase, trying to take in all the information, make better choices, and not get overwhelmed. I’m very aware that this is just the beginning of my diabetes journey, and there’s still so much more I need to learn and do to get things under control.

I joined this forum hoping to connect with others who understand what it’s like to navigate both obesity and diabetes at the same time. I’m looking forward to learning from your experiences, sharing my own along the way, and hopefully building some accountability and support.

Thanks for having me here.
