[QUOTE="douglas99, post: 1496258, member: 38028"] Diabetes crept up on me when I became too complacent. Maybe I made that mistake, but I cant change the past. I did use it, like you, as motivation to lose weight, reverse the diabetes, and I have no complications. I tell everyone I'm type 2, in conversation. I'm self employed, and I also tell most of my customers, as it's quite common they, or a relative have diabetes. I also usually explain why I don't eat the biscuits, or take sugar in my coffee They're usually impressed by the weight loss if anything. (And I've worked for them for years, from being morbidly obese to 'healthy') I'm ok in the gym, I'm not the fittest, but we're all there to get fitter, so I figure the less fit you are, the more effort you're putting in, so the extra kudos for that. I wasn't diagnosed until 50 though, (overweight for a while before that), that was 5 years ago, and I've had normal BG most of those 5 years, and still have no complications, or any other health issues.
