In fact it demonstrated that any sustained lowering of blood sugar helps, even if the person has a history of poor control. Specifically it found that lowering and maintaining more constant blood sugar levels reduced the risk of eye disease by 76%, kidney disease by 50%, nerve disease by 60% and cardiovascular disease by 35%. The above was C/Pd from the www.I was diagnosed type 2 almost 12 months ago. The real danger was plain to me and has been, is my sole motivation. I have lost 5 1/2 stone ( yes I was  big ) by not eating the things that we all know are going to be bad for me. I cut out all obvious carbs for 6 months or so and have not eaten any extra sugar at all. I don't want to go blind, I don't want to die full of wee, I don't want to die shaking uncontrollably and not being able to control bodily functions, I don't want to die in agony of heart desease.Motivation ??????? you need motivation..............All the best Choccy <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
