[QUOTE="Widgets, post: 2451369, member: 545952"] My granddad had type-2. He was diagnosed in the late 1960s/early 1970s. When I was very young I remember him having a crate of fizzy drinks delivered by the "pop man" every week. There used to be a delivery service for fizzy drinks along the same lines as milk doorstep deliveries. I remember that he had to eat regularly and always with a slice or two of bread and margarine, no matter how much he'd eaten earlier. I assume that was what he had been told by the medics. He had very little feeling in his fingers and had both legs amputated before he died in 1984 or so. I dread to think what his numbers were and how much damage happened because he followed advice for those 15 or so years. [/QUOTE]
