Hi all just been diagnosed with type 2 and trying to figure out how i ended up this way i eat very healthy and exercise on a regular basis am fit active and walk our dog on a daily basis as well as running around after 3 grandchildren & their parents!!. But hay ho that’s life i blame a course of medication i was put on to kill an infection which affected my metabolism but then I’m no DR what would i know about my body. I saw a post about someone who was sitting at 22 i know how you feel drink plenty of water and eat anything that doesn’t contain carbs that’s what i done plus i was taking medication twice daily and another wee tablet to help pull my sugars down i lost over a stone in weight but it all worked out ok now sitting average of 5.4 whoopee.
