My dad has been my rock and major support in my quest to live healthily since my diabetes diagnosis 2 years ago. He's undergone several heart operations in the past, including a double heart bypass and as a result of this he has changed his lifestyle - he lost weight and took up exercising.. He hikes, runs, attends the gym and recently took up cycling. He doesn't eat bread, potatoes etc.. doesn't drink or smoke and doesn't have a sweet tooth - something I obviously didn't inherit lol.
Anyway, he's just found he's diabetic and is really upset about it. Neither he nor I understand it, how can someone who really does look after himself the way he does end up with this awful disease? He's not sure how they are going to treat it, he's got his first appt with the DN next week..
Feel so gutted for him :-(
