Hi there my first post here. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 at age 29. I guess I put it down to unhealthy lifestyle and being overweight. My dad has type 2 as well. I've got straight onto losing my weight. So far I've lost almost 10 pounds with regular walks and eating healthy.
I have accepted this illness is with me forever now but it is still very scary. I've been reading up horror stories about being diagnosed early in life will result in an early death, Honestly I am quite scared. So I am doing everything I can do get myself fit. This diagnosis has pushed me to get myself in shape. I am happy that there is this forum to share my feelings on and discuss this with others.
