[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 2010467, member: 242273"] Chin up [USER=500391]@Mollyc1995[/USER] You have done really well in a very short time. You are a winner. You have taken steps to do more than control the situation but to start treating it for yourself. You should be proud of yourself, if your doctor has not yet put you on medication then you don't need it and if you are monitoring your bg levels and eating what suits your body then you are taking responsible actions to improve your health. Your Nanna sounds as if she probably knows more about diabetes than most people so give her a hug. The other side of the family may be more difficult to chat over any current problems but they are still important if only as a motivator. It may be that in spite of your best efforts the diabetes does progress but you will know that you have given it your best shot and at least slowed the progression. The difficulty is when you go to see them, so take a snack with you some pork scratchings or cheese to eat instead of biscuits and cake. They will soon get the message that you are changing the way you eat. Your teen years are behind you, the future calls so make it as exciting as you dare! [/QUOTE]
