4. Find a Friend

Being diagnosed with diabetes might leave you feeling upset, confused and frightened, especially if you don’t have any friends or family already coping with the condition.

Luckily there are support groups, national associations, and online chat rooms and message boards, all of which can provide reassurance or just a friendly ear to chat with about your fears and experiences.

Many people use these resources to swap diabetic-friendly recipes, or you might find a buddy to provide encouragement and support on any weight-loss or keep-fit program.
