Sorry to hear about that Mel. My old man has it too, he was able to get his under control with his diet. Was on pills for about a year or so then the Dr. took him off after his diet changed and he lost about 25lbs or so. Hang in there, it could be alot worse. It's definitley a life altering condition, but as my old man said it worked out for the better. It gave him a reason to actually watch what he put into his mouth. He looks better aswell, not that he was really over weight or anything. Good luck, sounds like you cought it early so you should be just fine.

Sorry to hear Mel, my late father was a diabetic.

Just do what the docs tell you and take care of yourself and you'll be just fine.
