As someone who was diagnosed Type 2 in 1999, diet control to start with, then onto tablets, I would advise that you get as much info as poss, and support from your DSN/Local diabetic team, and LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY! I chose to ignore my diabetes, because, like you, I felt fine, and the tablets made me feel ill, so I stopped taking them. I also have a very sweet tooth, and consumed loads of sugar loaded foods. I am now suffering with complications affecting my feet and eyes and have been put onto insulin injections. This is not intended to be a scare story, just advice from someone who has learnt a lesson the hard way. Follow the guidelines, and don't be afraid to speak to your doctor if the meds don't suit you to start with - they can be changed, and your body takes time to adjust. Persevere and you will get there, and be a happier, healthier person. :thumbup:</p></blockquote><p></p>
