[QUOTE="sandyb1, post: 1452140, member: 84728"] I was so shocked when I was diagnosed with type 2 in 2014, thought I'd kept myself reasonably healthy but obviously not enough, so was a wake up call. I asked the doctor if he could allow me a few months to try & control it by healthy eating etc & he agreed. I was booked on a Diabetes awareness course (1 afternoon a week for 6 weeks). This really helped me to understand what diabetes is, how diet, excercise & weight loss helps, & also meeting other people with the same problem (some worse than me), also helped with the mental attitude! I've managed to control it reasonably well, & so far (touch wood!) avoided medication. However I'm due for my yearly check up next week & hope my results will be ok. I've unfortunately had to go on blood pressure medication as I wasn't controlling it very well, & I'm hoping that by really sticking to a low carb & also low salt diet that I can reduce my BP & my medication.(Plus lose some weight as well) [/QUOTE]
