[QUOTE="HeliGary, post: 2361543, member: 536765"] Interesting to read some of the more recent posts on this thread. My father has 'occasional' type 2 diabetes, sometimes he is just over the HbA1c limit and sometimes he is under, he was treated with MetFormin but is no off it, so I appear to be pre-disposed to it. Even so, I have always eaten what I want, and until 2 years drank what I wanted when I wanted, I stopped drinking in April 2019 and lost some weight (BMI peak was 32, so I needed to). For me, I feel like this is 3/4 my fault (can't think of a better term) and 1/4 genetics. I have for the moment I fell like I have gripped it with both hands, reduced my HbA1c from 116 to 62 in 8 weeks and I am eating better, and exercising regularly (something I haven't done for 25 years). I am 3 stone lighter than my peak two years ago, and 2 stone lighter than in Aug 2020. I need a medical for my work and whilst it has been suspended temporarily, it is due to be re-issued this week, I think that has probably been a great motivator. I don't blame myself, but I do accept responsibility for what has happened and what to do about it. [/QUOTE]
