[QUOTE="Grungysquash, post: 1789204, member: 271088"] Welcome to the club - it's certainly a wake-up call. Everyone including myself was a tad shocked I've never been in hospital or sick. So getting this was a real wake up. The key is - lose weight, as others have said low carb diet helps, that's a no brainer same as reducing sugar, you will be surprised how much sugar is in everything processed, you don't think your actually eating much then read on the side 100gm containes 23gm carbs, 15gm of which is stated as sugar. I now read the side of packages and buy whatever is lowest, plenty of products state low fat, but you will be stunned at the sugar content they don't state on the fancy picture. So welcome to the journey to get better, you can do it, I've done it - and it's never actually over just work out what way works for u to lose the weight. You don't need to join a gym, weight watchers, or any fancy cleansing diet. But if they help you lose the weight then all good. I was 120kg now 95 - 97kg depending on the day. For me that was enough for my body to fix itself and I'm off meds. For u it might be more it might be less or simply it might be never and you will need to remain on medication. Everyone is different but if u catch type two early enough hopefully there is no damaged cells and your body can fix itself by losing the weight, assisted by the meds. So good luck, it's all up to you. We can sympathize and help motivate but in the end it's all u baby. So figure out what works for u - and get motivated to get better. [/QUOTE]
