Diabetes type 2 runs in my family and I alwAysgarth knew I'd be likely to have it due to having pcos and central weight gain. I was diagnosed 7 months ago and manage my condition by diet , my cousin diagnosed 5 months ago says he has chosen medication so, in his words, he can continue to eat ****. Now I love my carbs and try really hard with sweet things and carbs and here am I thinking oh so I could take Meds and still eat carbs then, I hate junk food but love puddings and potatoes and feel a bit fed up thinking oh he's chosen medication so he continue to eat rubbish and here am I working hard to keep my condition in order by diet, is he right? Can you literally have your cake and eat it? Or maybe because I have apple shaped Wright gain I am best to carry on being careful. My cousin wasn't as over weight as I am, but ate and eats a lot of junk food and sugary pop, I am about 18 lbs over weight but it's almost all on the upper body which I know is a disaster for health. I am female and middle aged and had pcos all my life since age 11.
