Exactly! And please don't take the 'winner' award i just gave you as implying that you have won anything worth having...

I believe very strongly that genetics play a very strong part in getting diabetes. If you are predisposed to the diabetic genes, then I am afraid there is no getting out of it. It is only a matter of time. I have seen people who eats junk food, drinks, smokes and do not get the disease in spite of their diet. There are some people who takes care of their health, exercise and eat well; and they still end up getting diabetes later on in life. How can you explain that? Genes.

Wow that is absolutely amazing - you are all so very inspirational. I do so well on low carb regime & then out of the blue I get this absolute longing for carbs & I go beserk on them again & become the rice cake queen. Any tips to overcome this weaknesss of mine would be most welcome too. Thanks again everyone
If you are a driver, you need to tell your insurance provider, even if controlling by diet and/or not on meds, even oral meds like Metformin. Failure to do so may invalidate your insurance. They should not increase your premiums though.You don't need to inform the DVLA unless you are on insulin. I wouldn't bother telling your travel insurance company if they already have it on record that you are Type 2 diabetic. Until your doctor takes you off the diabetes register, you are still diabetic. He is unlikely to take you off the register until you have shown him you can maintain non-diabetic levels without the aid of medication for a year or more.
