I was told by a physician, who had previously ‘mentioned’ I was pre-diabetic. I wish she had been more informative. I knew very little about diabetes. Was young and naive. I didn’t pay much attention. Soon I was being prescribed medication and was told I was full-blown type 2 diabetic. Sure...

Hello. I’ve had Type 2 for about the same amount of time you have. Have done poorly keeping it in check. Haven’t committed enough effort to it. I’ve been a member here for some time, but need to get more serious about checking in because I think there’s good support here. Welcome!
