[QUOTE="David_A_Hughes, post: 1105737, member: 249826"] I really can't understand any of the comments above stating that there are [I]any [/I]life benefits as a result of having diabetes. It has gone a long way to ruining mine. I have never been overweight (BMI of around 22 to 23.something), I believe I've always had a tolerably good diet (same as my siblings when young, and they're not diabetic), I have always been fairly active, (without being a gym fan but partaking in some sport, cycling, walking, etc), in fact a fairly good, balanced lifestyle. I now try to severely limit my carb intake and continue with the exercise and still the BG reading I get vary wildly, often to the extent that I wonder if my meter is broken. I understand the real meaning of the word depression, and I'm not there yet, but, when I test my blood sugars after a day of carb abstinence and find them well into the teens, I wonder how long I can prevent a dangerous slide down that slope.
