Hi. I am a type 2 diabetic . I found out in oct last year. I knew something wasn't right. In some ways it came as a blow to me as I had been loosing weight and generally keeping fit( I run 3 times a week). It can be difficult to make sure you take your meds and test your blood. People's attitudes can be difficult . I work in a school and some people forget that I need to eat at lunch . In the past I have been able to miss lunch to do jobs bit now it's important for me to eat regular . Hope this helps.
