Congratulations, baconbits. It sounds like you are well past the denial stage and ready to manage your diabetes instead of letting it manage you. I have had type 2 diabetes for 23 years and must take insulin now, but I managed just fine with only diet and exercise for the first five years. Go for it! If you are currently overweight diet and exercise are your best friends and you may be able to postpone medication for many years if not forever. If you are like me and have never been overweight you may need medication. But diet and exercise still help you manage this and stay healthy. Best of luck to you.
