[QUOTE="midiansangel, post: 1226208, member: 45826"] I grew up with IFG, which I don't suppose was much of a problem for me, I was told regularly that I'd be "diabetic soon". 30 years later, I finally succumbed to what so many young and older members of my family succumbed to - T2 diabetes. Because I knew when I was just 15 that this might happen to me, I ensured a good lifestyle. I've always been " overweight" by the text book standards, although my BMI was good. It was all down to circuit training, rock and mountain climbing, cycling etc. Plus a healthy, balanced vegetarian diet. I was quite muscley for a woman I guess. My blood pressure was great, my cholesterol was also great (even though my mother and father had heart issues and cholesterol issues). I was diagnosed just days after completing the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge. The nurse I had at the time new nothing of my history or my family history and just told me that my T2 was solely s lifestyle issue. She was quite rude and abrupt. I was told to lose weight, change my life style, eat better, do this, do that because T2 was 100% lifestyle related. I've since had a new nurse, who bothered to take note of my lifestyle and told me just keep doing what I'm doing ... Although I've had to slow down a bit due to a little arthritis, but it's no big deal. That first nurse was just a text book person, a bad example of her profession. I just hope that they latest one (first visit next month) is as good as the last Sent from my B3-A20 using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67]Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
