I was only diagnosed T2 twelve weeks ago - I wasn't surprised as my Mum had late onset diabetes so I wasn't bitter - didn't see the point in getting upset although I can understand people for whom the diagnosis comes as a shock. I like to think of myself as the sort of person who sees the 'glass half full' instead of empty so to me my diagnosis was a challenge - to get my numbers down, to lose weight and to get fit.
The only thing I have given up, like others, is the carbs and I don't miss them at all which really surprised me and like others I have lost all my cravings, even for chocolate! I have lost 2 stone since diagnosis and am now working on getting more active - I just need to lose another half stone to be able to get into my swimming costume - so hope to be at the pool soon! I feel a lot better than I did three months ago.
As chocoholic said live is for living - so got do it!
