Hey everyone

[Deac1979]

Hi all, Got told i had Type 2 in October of last year but it has took 4 months for me to finally admit i have diabetes and need to change my eating habits so my 2 year old still has a dad in a few years time,

I recently read a post on here from a bloke who is dying from complications from diabetes and him not controlling it properly and it really shook me up and made me see i need to do something about it and not just pretend i dont have it.

Hope to speak to you all at some point

Regards
John.

Welcome to the club that no-one really wanted to join, John. (That's been said many times before, BTW).

Lot's of info and advice on here but I just wanted to chip in to say it is good to hear of someone who's been specifically moved to do something this positive, by something on the forum - and I'm sure the OP would join me in that thought too.

Hi John

Welcome to the forum!

Here is a link to some basic information for newly diagnosed diabetics, in case you have not seen it before:

If you have any questions or need any help just ask.

Our children are the best motivation we can have to tame this beast and stay healthy.

Take care and stay well!

Hi and welcome. Yes we all have a choice; ignore it and have very serious complications or manage it and hopefully have very few
