[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 1000995, member: 55568"] Most articles have some sort of sensational or new angle. Most of what needs to be said has already been said and now its just said with a different slant on things. In general, men die earlier than women anyway. Most diabetics die with the disease rather than from the disease. Stop reading those articles. The men I know with type 2 who have gotten into difficulties have taken the pills but have never taken the problem seriously. They've all relied on more pills, stronger pills etc. You have to do something for yuorself. Eating healthily does not mean eating expensive foods. But, you have to learn what foods to eat, where to buy them, how to prepare them and how to cook them. Slow cookers and soup makers open up a whole new world of possibilities for making cheap ingredients taste magical. Put your efforts into learning how to make great meals, healthy meals, without expense, rather than reading diabetic scare stories. You will feel better for taking some positive action and you will start to eat more healthily. You'll probably enjoy your food more too. Whenever I feel hungry, I start preparing a meal for later. That stops me snacking. For me, fish is a godsend and cheap fish is always available in tins. [/QUOTE]
