Grumpy Diabetic

I am a grumpy diabetic.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 7 weeks ago. It came as a surprise.
I was drinking mass amounts of water at the time, about 5-6 liters a day, and having to urinate frequently, but apart from that, I had no idea anythign was wrong. And the thirst I chalked up to just being a thirsty dude during the summer.
It came up during a pre-employment physical. I did not accept the job--but I am so glad they did this test.
I am currently taking glyburide. Sometimes I get really irritable. For a while I had some really blurry vision that would come and go, along with headaches. I still get the occasional headache, but my vision seems to be ok.
I check my blood sugar once or twice a day with a Lifescan Ultra2 glucose monitor. I got it for free!
I've been trying to watch my diet, and exercise more. It's hard--I have gained 15 pounds since I started the medication.
More to come...
