[QUOTE="John J, post: 108884, member: 22542"] Thanks for that, Robbo, and best wishes for the future too. As I say, my circumstances might well change over the years and I'm sure much of the advice given here will be very valid. I do realise there's no such thing as "borderline" diabetes but I feel very fortunate that I was diagnosed at an (apparently) early stage and have no other health problems (Apart from gout which I've had for about 25 years but is very well controlled). Obviously, I had a few typical symptoms which have now subsided since I've lost weight and started to take better care of myself. The only risk I can envisage is that I might start to slip into some of my old bad habits and one argument for "self testing" and an even stricter diet might be that it would serve to concentrate the mind more. However, there's not a day which goes by when I'm not aware of my condition and I carefully consider all my actions and I'm sure it's possible to fall by the wayside regardless of whatever kind of treatment regime one adopts. Thankfully, the initial shock and feeling of helplessness has now subsided and I can continue to enjoy life as normal while still remaining aware, of course. [/QUOTE]
