Hi
My Name is Russ, I'm 41 and was diagnosed with type 2 3 weeks ago after pestering my doctor to do some blood tests.
I haven't been feeling 'right' for around 12 months and just put it down to being depressed, overweight, unfit and age.
But it was getting worse, so I wondered if I had some kind of food allergy or intolerance.
I thought i may have been fructose intolerant - but the tests came back as positive for type 2.
Shouldn't have been suprised, my Mother is also type 2.
Looking back, over the last 2 years, whenever I had a high sugar intake, I felt rough, like i was coming down with a cold. And anything sugary before bed time left me jittery and restless.
The signs were there - I just didn't know how to read them or indeed if there was anything to read.
So I'm learning. New lifestyle, better diet, different outlook.
I can probably go a few years managing with diet & exercise - i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
