[QUOTE="John J, post: 118134, member: 22542"] Hi Tmorg, I was probably in a similar position to yourself although a few years younger AND "good looking". :lol: Although I didn't consider my diagnosis to be a "positive", since then I've lost about 3 stone and my blood sugar levels and blood pressure have more or less returned to normal. Also, I do not require to take any medication for my diabetes...continuing to take lisiniprol for blood presure but I'm not sure if I really need it. Naturally, I feel much healthier in myself and much more optimistic about the future although...like everyone else... I know "I'm still gonna die" :wink: However, we should both remember that not everyone here is in the same boat. In many cases, their diabetes is much more serious and accompanied by other complications and conditions. So, let's not be too smug about it...I'm not suggesting you are, of course. Also, we have to continually be aware that this is a life long condition and there's no longer any room for complacency in our lives. We will always have to watch our diet, weight, and maintain a good exercise regime. As we grow older and/or develop additional health problems, this will not always be so easy. Of course, I want to remain optimistic and, hopefully, I'll keep things under control... maybe even indefinitely... but if diabetes doesn't get me something else will. :x All the best for the future....
