Hey Carol,

   I know that you are well intentioned and concerned about your friend but sometimes what people need (including me) is just a teeny, tiny amount of space to digest what has been diagnosed and time to think about it. Learning to eat to manage your sugars takes a little bit of time and fussing.....it's a readjustment and they'll get it. Please don't think I'm telling you to NOT talk about it...but if you are constantly after them about it...it might serve to just make someone unhappy. Stress, by the way, can make your glucose levels rise too.
