Having Type 2 Diabetes is a blessing in disguise because it helped me realize that I had to change my lifestyle. I didn't have a healthy diet and didn't exercise, and now I have to live with the consequences of having diabetes. But I am happy I have Diabetes because it gives me a reality check to stop eating so unhealthy.

I am taking it day by day to have a long life and cut out all of the carbs potatoes, pasta, and fast food. I am going to start Keto and have a positive attitude.
You'll find hopefully as many of us have that the diagnosis was the best thing that could have happened.
Now you can have control over your own health.

Type 2 Diabetes is preventable with diet change and exercise.
You can put it in remission or reverse it, however if you go back to your old ways you will get complications.
What's the difference?
If you have a predisposition to developing diabetes you can prevent it by changing your diet.
Exactly the same diet change that can get you in remission.

So in both cases you'll have to stick to those diet changes or you'll get diabetes (again).

The outcome is the same: no diabetes (anymore) and stick to sensible food.
