I suppose i better update as to what is happening with me. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Not a great shock as thats what i suspected before i visited the doctor. I learnt a lesson though, not to leave a visit to the docs for too long. I really buggered up my legs and I feel they are just getting back to normal.
I have to admit that the support you recieve is excellent, well what i have recieved so far. Of course i have had the do's and don'ts on what i can eat and i was already considering changing what i eat before i visited the doctor.
Another thing that has happened is that my eye sight decided to go bad. So now I have to wear glasses LOL. The optician said it was just due to age and it stopped me doing a lot of things on the pc. I recommend that if you feel your eyesight is poor then go and get them checked, magnifier isn't a replacement, trust me!
One bit of advice i would say is, if you feel you are suffering from at least one of the symptoms of diabetes, then get it checked out!
