As of last Monday on a routine dr visit I learned that I am probably a diabetic. I was given 30 days to see if I can bring the numbers down or go on medication. I am 44 yrs old and in the military. I am in fairly descent shape, 5, 11" and 175lbs. This is a shock to me but it is strongly in my family, both parents diabetics for years. It certainly explains a lot about how I have been feeling with my BG being routinely over 300. But I have been taking in all the sugar I could stand and eating everything I wanted. Hope diet and routine exercise can get this under control.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
