[QUOTE="sarahlou72, post: 943978, member: 157953"] I am T2. I am overweight I have a sweet tooth I blame my parents. No seriously, with both parent being type 2 according to this site I am 75% more at risk of having diabetes. [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-and-genetics.html[/URL] Because I it worried me I would regularly pester my doctor for a blood test. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and I cried when the doctor told me. I expected it at some time just not now. My parents were in their 50's when they were diagnosed, but looking back and knowing what I know now, I think they had the condition long before that. Don't get me wrong, I could have done things differently, couldn't we all in hindsight. But since that diagnosis, I lost 21lbs (iv'e put a little bit back on but I'm nowhere near what I was) I go to the gym This year I signed up for my 1st 5k. I didn't manage to run all the way, (and still can't), but did it in a steady 43 mins and hope to beat that when I do it again next year. For me in a way it was a kick up the backside to start looking after myself. This is where I blame myself I still eat sweets, cake and biscuits. (I have a sweet tooth and not much will power) I still eat carbs (the wrong kind) I forget to take my tablets. My last check up my bg had gone from 6.2 to 7.2 (what a difference a year makes) So, I am back on the (reasonably health eating), ordered a blood glucose monitor and hopefully get it back down. Back to the nurse in December rather than next year so fingers crossed, [/QUOTE]
