[QUOTE="Melgar, post: 2573443, member: 520626"] I was told I was pre-diabetic at the end of 2019. I am now diabetic. I was a competitive long distance runner and very active for much of the preceding decades. No diabetes in my family (including my aunts and uncles) other than my brother who is T1. I always ate healthy meals, never touched soft drinks, chips, crisps and fast food, breads or pastries. Not overweight, in fact a few years ago I had terrible trouble keeping weight on. And yet here I am T2. To be honest I felt hard done by and angry. I could have understood it if I ate pizzas and McDonalds and junk but nope I was almost freakin angelic with my food. Well that came back to bite me. The other thing that I totally despise is social media banging on about how T2 is preventable. You will just have to try and ignore that aspect. I need to breath lol I feel worked up even typing it. lolol [/QUOTE]
