Hi there, I was diagnosed Type 2 about 7 years ago, my husband has been type one for about 36 years, since his 20's
My diagnosis was almost accidental. I was given a raft of blood tests for something else entirely and the diabetes one came back positive
However my three month tests have always been fine, right from the start so it has made little or no change to my life apart from taking the tablets!!
I put this down to the fact that since my husband became diabetic I have always eaten his diet and have never liked sweet things or chocolate much.
So there I was on a healthy low fat low carb diet and it seemed to control my diabetes without any effort - even before I knew I had it!!
My husband is one of those unfortunate people who cannot take synthetic insulin, he has tried several, and to day remains on a pork insulin which he tolerates far better.
Glad to be able to join you all!!
