New diagnosis, would like to connect with you!

My husband was recently diagnosed with type II - Friday, June 27. We've shed a few tears together, but we are committed to working together to make the adjustments that will allow to continue a happy and healthy life. I'm happy to have found this online community. I am hoping that we can connect with some other people, who are young in particular - or who have had diabetes since you've been young, that are living with this so that we can share our experiences, food tips and found resources.

We're a family who loves to eat. We celebrate with eating. We enjoy each other's company with eating. So, having diabetes makes this hard. My first tears were actually over the thought that my husband won't be able to enjoy birthday cake on his birthday. Of course, this now sounds a little funny. Right now everything feels difficult, but I know that trying to make life changes always is - habits die hard.
