Hi, Andrew. Welcome to the Forum. In what ways did you not take your T2 seriously?

Hi,I thought it was not serious,but over time an addiction to all things sugary was my downfall.All I did was eat all the wrong things for many years and it caught with me.Turned a corner now,and hope to syay that way.Cheers Andy
