[QUOTE="Bluenosesol, post: 116651, member: 20149"] For many years, T2 was perceived even by some GP's as a mild illness. It is now classified as a chronic disease. That said, the future is bright for those of us who are successful in bringing our diabetes under control. It has only been very recently that the NHS and other global health services have upped the ante and formalised annual checks. (Not saying that people were not managing well or being managed well previously in some instances). Self management has really come to the fore and a determination to take personal responsibility is becoming ever more the norm. Lord Darzi who is a Senior Figure at the Department of Health treated my sister. She has a complicated condition. He advised her to become her own expert and stated that personal research was one of the greatest factors in managing complicated conditions. I know (dont we all?) of many diabetics who do not bother with their annual reviews, who believe that you might as well die of "diabetes" as anything else, that life is too short to bother with diets, that exercise is too much bother, that medication is a waste of time etc etc etc.... When statisticians determine outlook and probabilities, they do not seperate out the 20% of successful self management cases from the 80% of diabetic apethists. If they did, then regardless of your age of diagnosis, your chances of a long complication free life are excellent!.. All the Best Steve. [/QUOTE]
