[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 325157, member: 33342"] Normal life? Hah! If I look at pictures of myself just before I was diagnosed in March 2011, I look overweight, unhappy and frankly very ill (I had a long list of diabetic symptoms). 20 months later I'm fitter, healthier and happier than I've ever been before. I went from not being able to run 30s in 2009 to completing my second half marathon last Sunday. My HbA1c is better than most "normal" people, and I don't have any symptoms or complications. All it takes is a few dietary adjustments. They seem kinda tough to start with, but once you've got used to it, you'll probably realise that most of the stuff that you liked to eat before, is just really addictive junk that you are better off without. It's not anywhere near as hard as you think it's going to be... [/QUOTE]
