[QUOTE="sdgray22, post: 248364, member: 40547"] Well my type 2 is probably because I ate enough chocolate in the last few years to keep a few Cadbury employees in work!! Nobody has tested my blood sugar in years and so I did not know I was prediabetic at any time and just kept eating. I am sure that had somebody bothered to test (and I have high BP so am in a risk group and have blood tests each year beause of it - just no sugar test added to the list of tests)I may have avoided it, and I would imagine with our junk diet a lot more are in the same position and are just reaping the consequences. I think it is a bad diet of processed foods and junk food full of sugar fat and salt. How many of us in the past cooked our food from scratch and did not buy burgers, fish and chips ,cottage pies , curries and shop sandwiches etc, eat cakes pies pastries and chocolate? just think 50 years ago we were only just out of rationing, nutritionally balanced diets were the norm then junk food arrived!! As for undiagnosed in previous years, up to 20 years ago women at their well women clinics, as far as I know had a three yearly urine test which would show high sugar up (OK I know pretty high) but it was done, not now though. So a high proportion of women had tests in those days. Sharon [/QUOTE]
