Well here we are in my 50's and now been told that i have type 2 diabetes when i had a blood test after feeling a bit under the weather.. I have told that its not serious if i cut out all things sweet not that i eat that much sweet stuff so bit hard to take in.. change your Diet loose some weight she said ok so i am a little over but giving up the fags 6 years ago caused that.. So its hard work ahead and keep it under control.. So if you wee a lot at night feel like shit tired etc go to the docs and get yourself checked out they say there a millions world wide who have and dont even know it..

Sorry to hear that EWS...glad its not serious and only controlled thru a diet change..Its when you get complacent and you end up needing injections or tablets and daily blood monitoring tests that it gets scary!!

Look after yourself sweetie :) x

at least you got checked out and found out you have it...I'd have been a lazy sod and not bothered with a doctor.

I also have type 2 diabetes EWS, but I am on oral meds and insulin. Start watching now...not only the sweets, but carbs. It is a strange disease, I try to take it one day at a time. Good luck :)
