Newly diagnosed? Keep calm.

Hi, I've just found this group and signed up. I'm 82 and have had diabetes for over 40 years. During that time I've learned a lot about it that I hope may be helpful to others.

As my first message I would say, particularly to the young people recently diagnosed - DON'T PANIC. DON'T WORRY. I'm still here and fully active, and hope to be for a long time yet! If I can do it anyone can. I'm looking forward to some interesting and helpful chats.

I've been one for 20 yrs I'm 61. I'm having a hard time finding something to go with my meat and veggies. I've tried brown rice, pasta whole wheat, sick of sweet potato. Winter squash, the carbs from them bring up sugar reading so high but I need a filler. I don't know it brings my sugars so high days after I eat them I'm only eating serving size. Any ideas just veggie is not filling to me.
