[QUOTE="Sawds, post: 1651611, member: 437905"] I was diagnosed as type 2 in September with an Hba1c of 97, it was **** but weirdly I no longer see it that way. I’m now a stone and a half lighter (wasn’t massively overweight before) and have used low carb to be healthier as I’ve come to realise my diet was awful before diagnosis. I have a natural competitive nature and so use that to try to beat science and what most doctors will tell you in that you cannot reverse this condition. My aim in life is now to do just that. I, like you am only young (34) and there is no way I am letting this condition take over my life. I see it as a positive challenge in that if I can control it I not only get to live normally but I also get to live a much healthier life which cannot ever be a bad thing. Had my 3 month Hba1c a couple of weeks ago and I’m down to 45 so part one of my challenge is complete, part 2 is maintaining that and I fully intend on doing that. It’s all about being positive, it is what it is, you just need to learn to live with it because there is no other way and once you have the hang of it, it’s not that hard. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
