I was diagnosed Type 2 just over 12 months ago, on my birthday in fact.
I had changed doctors and had a routine 'new patient' blood test and the GP telephoned to wish me 'Happy Birthday' and 'Guess what you've got' Our family is also riddled with it, my dad lost a leg to diabetes and his brother lost his sight. Oooer. It serves to make me highly motivated to take care of my diabetes and myself, and I am much more fit now than a year ago.
I seem to find that 'balance' is my watchword. No extremes or deprivations of any kind and it seems to work at present.
