[QUOTE="zhaith, post: 186714, member: 32247"] hi Bandit, welcome to the forum. Take it from me ignoring diabetes is a really bad idea, i have been type 2 diabetic for 3.5 years or so, and out of that I pretty much ignored it for around 3 years, basically because i'm stubborn and i couldnt be bothered with any of it, I continued to eat and drink just as I did before I was diagnosed. This was all well and good up until my eye test 3 months ago which revealed the early stages of retinopathy, ok atm it needs no treatment but however you look at it the root cause is simply because of my own stupidity. I only have one set of eyes and if i loose them the bye bye job, bye bye house etc you get the picture. As daisy has said there is a whole host of other complications that may arise from uncontrolled diabetes, none of them pleasant. In the end only you can decide how you want to play things but knowing what I know now if I had the chance i'd have done things differently. It really isn't too bad once you get over the initial shock and get used to a change in diet and testing. [/QUOTE]
