That’s the one where if you look after your diet you can get rid of it isn’t it?

My father had that iirc.
They started cutting lumps off him because of Gangrene and i'm told it was because he was unaware of having it.
Toe, then foot, then leg. I don't think he was happy about it.

Bad situation to joke about - they shouldn't have just been pulling his leg.

That’s not surprising to me.
Just do some research, it says you can put it into remission so that’s got to be good news.

I have an EpiPen.
My mate gave it to me when he was dying, it seemed very important to him that I have it.

Yes I have it, I have to take Metformin for it (get the slow release tablets otherwise you'll get a bad belly often).

Untreated and having HbA1c of 89 isn’t too bad. Normal is 20-42.
With known diabetes you should be aiming for 48-59. Listen to what the diabetes nurses say and don’t skip any monitoring appointments for blood, eyes and feet. You mightn’t see any immediate effects of high blood sugar but long term effects can be horrible, blindness, stroke, amputations erectile dysfunction.
Hopefully that’s enough to keep you looking after yourself!

I see a chiropodist that checks the pulses in my feet regularly, I don't fancy losing a foot / leg etc.

Do not do owt daft like 800 calorie a day diet. I reversed my mam's type 2 a few years back and she was eating a Kit Kat crunchy everyday and a bag of maltesers on a saturday night when my dad was out. Sensible calorie deficit and hit a decent fibre goal to ensure you have slower releasing carbs and you are laughing

Lots of evidence that a plant based diet can reverse T2D. Maybe something to look into.

This. I mean what possible harm could come from consulting random Internet quacks recommended by non-health professionals on a football message board when you’ve got health issues?

Okay mate. Let him have his leg amputated in 30 years time instead.
