Message: <blockquote data-quote="KeithT 2" data-source="post: 1715725" data-attributes="member: 469507"><p>My name is Keith. I'm  a young 74 years of age, retired and an ex Londoner living this past 40 years on the Isle of Wight with my wife. We have one daughter and two granddaughters - one 18 and the other 14. I was diagnosed with type 2  in 2006. This year was a turning point for me in the diabetes saga when I received a letter telling me I had mild maculopathy. As you can see by my avatar I am a enthusiast photographer and the thought of losing my eyesight was more frightening than having diabetes. Anyway, it made me take this disease more seriously than I had been doing.  For me carbohydrates were my biggest problem: potatoes in all their forms and rice spike me so much that I have now cut them from my regular diet.  I eat home made bread a couple of times a week but usually for lunch and no carbs after 5pm. This works for me, keeping my BG levels on the straight and Narrow. I test twice a day and have done since the maculopathy letter. My goal is to turn that part around.  Onward and upwards as they say.</p></blockquote><p></p>
