[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1936687, member: 401801"] ...I wish your husband was right. But you have a genetic predisposition for diabetes. A "quick diet" isn't going to change that. Now that you know, you can avoid getting T2 for a long time, who knows, maybe indefinitely, but it will take work. I like to give hope to people who have been diagnosed T2 and feel like their world has ended. I tell them it'll be okay, and they will be, *if* they're willing to do the work... You're in the luxury position that you can head this off just by lowering your carb-intake. No complications, no worries when you're ill with something else, making your sugars out of control... No sugar peaks when you have a sleepless night or such things. If I'd had that choice, if I'd known what was going on and how to tackle it... I never would've gotten this far. You're on the road to T2. Fact of life. Now you decide whether to take it seriously and stop it before it starts, or end up with regrets and coulda shoulda woulda's. I'd give a lot to be in your shoes right now. And tell your husband it's a lot easier with proper support at home. Mine was at every appointment and consultation, learned all he could, was right there with me through all of it. Worries got shared, victories too. It's good not to be alone in this. And I'm hoping it'll never get so far for you, as it's gotten for me. [/QUOTE]
