[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1820542, member: 41816"] I think there are lots of reasons for changing career path, retraining and getting out from behind a desk. But i don’t think that T2 is the best reason to do those things, and I certainly don’t think they are a necessary way to cope with T2. I have a sedentary desk job. It fits my experience and skillset - and the older I get, the more my knees and back appreciate not being on the go all day. But nor do I want to sink into a blob on the sofa all day. I have dogs, a garden, active holidays and we live close enough to the high street that walking is a better option than driving. No gym. No excitement, sky diving or treks in the Himalayas. All very normal and run of the mill, but it all adds up to a steady beneficial effect on my health. So I suppose I am saying, shake your life up, if you want, but don’t use Diabetes as an excuse, or a blame. Just live your life how you want, and control your diabetes to fit in with that. [/QUOTE]
