Message: <blockquote data-quote="AloeSvea" data-source="post: 2760737" data-attributes="member: 150927">Hi [USER=99243]@ellesangel[/USER].Yes, as above, I think about the worst for motivation, to try and keep on top of the dysregulated blood glucose and insulin in the present. Ditto nutrition and weight and heart health.I did that by educating myself in how we get fat, and how to get normal weighted. With regards type two diabetes, this Forum has been incredibly helpful in keeping me current with studies and others' experiences. Invaluable, absolutely.I also tried to keep on top of it by weaning myself off sugar, as best I could, straight away after diagnosis. And for me, once I understood the effect wheat had on my belly and weight,  I did the same with wheat products. Over time in the first year after diagnosis, from here and wider study, I came to understand that lowering my carb intake took priority, and when I was fully physically able, being physically active (re heart health).I can't lay claim to 'keeping on top of it' regarding my blood glucose, but I have been able to self monitor well with my weight (ie the fat cells), and track my vitals re heart health.Keeping in mind the worst that can happen for me, and my desire to live as long as I can, absolutely keeps me motivated.</blockquote>
