Message: <blockquote data-quote="outlaw" data-source="post: 253507" data-attributes="member: 42213"><p>I have been diagnosed type 2 for approx 2 years. I am  51 years of age. When I was was first diagnosed I was gutted initially. Once I had control of my sugar levels and got rid of all the problems I had with high blood sugar levels I turned it to my advantage. Although I felt comfortable with my eating life style (I was one of these yo yo dieters) I took this condition as a wake up call and have cut right down on all the wrong foods and increased my physical activities. I feel a lot better because of this. On the down side my biggest problem is remembering to take my medication (and that is no big deal as i do not forget that often) Whilst I am in control I accept it and get on with my life. For all of you out there that have more complications than I. I do sympathise with you all and in no way does this message have any patronizing undertones or other ideas/thoughts that could be taken the wrong way. I count myself lucky that I only have type 2 and at the moment it seems easy to control and does not impact to much on my life. Should that change then who knows.</p></blockquote><p></p>
