Hi I'm Mickey. I'm new here, so I've an awful lot to learn. Had t2 for about 9 years. Try to treat it as an annoyance rather than an illness. My family watches me at all times; my son particularly. If I'm asked if I want something such as a piece of cake, he will answer no for me. My lips never move. People really mean well, but I get really cheesed off. End of rant.
