[QUOTE="graham64, post: 21719, member: 10150"] [b]Re: Success stories[/b] Hi Fergus, I was diagnosed T2 april this year,no family history not overweight, I had no symptoms but through routine blood tests I was told that I was borderline diabetic and was sent for a glucose tolerance test which obviously came back positive.My doc said that it could have been brought on by stress and depression, I had been through a very traumatic 12 months.I was given the usual diabetic diet which I tried to follow as best I could,and all the checks eyes feet etc, all ok.
