[QUOTE="ricardoharrison, post: 524372, member: 99461"] It's a hard one to accept. I got diagnosed about six weeks ago. I've cut my carbs, sugars, increased exercise and eating better than I have in years. I feel great. Have I come to terms that this is a condition I'll have for my life and it can potential have major complications??. Probably not. It feels like at the moment I'm working to a goal of becoming 'healthy'. Over the next few years that'll change as I become more aware that it's never really going to go away. I'm 32, it was a shock for me but I want to have kids with my wife, I want to grow old and live for another 50 odd years. Is a ****** diet now worth it for depraving me of my eyesight and feet?? not a feckin chance. This forum is ace, there's sooooo much advice and support make the most of it!!. This is a dangerous condition but it's not something that you should let define you. Take it by the ******** and make baby step changes and in no time you won't notice the major changes you've made in your life. My big thing for me was food, I was worried I'd be eating a boring diet but again this forum is great for recipes and ideas. plus with all my running I'm starting to develop a runners stomach ......... which my wife is liking, so there are perks !!!
