[QUOTE="Sketcher, post: 370611, member: 47909"] Hello Unhappy. I think it could drive you mad trying to work out why you have diabetes; there are lots of statistical analyses that point obesity and inheritance (not to sugar consumption) but they're only statistics - there are always individual exceptions. I am the first diabetic in my family and I'm not overweight: after I was diagnosed, my doctor said that I really didn't deserve to be diabetic! My advice is to forget about why you're diabetic - it's pointless to worry about it. Instead, think about how you're going to manage it: your disinclation to eat loads of sugary foods is a good start, and you should be able to cut them out completely without any trouble. I'd suggest checking your BG before and two hours after meals, keeping a record of what you eat and the readings afterwards. You'll soon find that you have control by adjusting what you eat and taking exercise. You may or may not need medication - perhaps not, as your readings are not extreme.
