If you are a diabetic how do you keep your sugar in check?

As a new diabetic, I'm not sure what to eat or not eat. Even doctors seem unsure. I got different answers from different doctors. Spent four days in a hospital after falling and could not get up because my sugar was way too low.

That sounds like type 1 diabetes? Do some research that is specifically for type 1, if that is what you have. If you're not sure, try to get further tests to see which type it is.

@purplepen I asked my doctor what type do I have? He told me 1 and a half. Never heard of that.

@GunSmoke9 One of you, or one and a half of you, is joking. Either that or you've got a combination of type 1 and type 2.

@purplepen Well I don't joke about my health. I took it as a combo. But I have no faith in doctors. Thanks for your input.
