[QUOTE="cocteau8, post: 618567, member: 124587"] Hiya folks Only slightly over weight, eating reasonably healthy, not having much of a sweet tooth, with no symptoms whatsoever 2 months ago, and then my eyesight showed a marked deterioration and I got so much more thirsty than normal. Then, lo and behold a visit to the doctor 2 weeks ago with confirmation that I had Type 2. I don't miss the sweets and chocolate as I never ate much, but that cake ...! I discovered that my HbA1c count was 83, or 10.7. I know that this is way too high, but as yet it means nothing to me - not something I ever anticipated. Having said that, with the removal of sweet things from my diet, my eyesight has returned to what it was a few weeks ago, so that's one good thing. And I've lost 12lb, so not complaining about that!
