Absolute, magical Words Of Wisdom, Lizzie, and my attitude to my diabetes perfectly stated! Amen, Amen, Amen!

It's not The End Of Life, it's a New Life, but not as we used to know it, Jim!

I live it your way, my BP is under control, my glucose around 6.5 (perfectamundo!), and my cholesterol count is 2.0 (I KID YOU NOT! The Diabetic-Nurse almost fell off her chair - and it's been down there for the past two years). My feet get regular 6-weekly checks by a podiatrist and frequent applications of foot-softening cream - aaaaaaaahhhh! I have annual eye-tests and retinopathy checks. No problemo senora!

Low fat + low sugar + low salt + low GI + regular exercise = a healthy, happy T2 Diabetic.

And a naughty 'treat' once in a while never killed anyone - even a diabetic!
