Middle age diabetes

[twist n shout]

We just learned yesterday that my wife has type 2 diabetes.It seems as though we got it diagnosed early enough that with proper diet,exercise & medication it can be held in check easily enough.I implore everyone out there to get regular checkups,because with early diagnoses,it can be easily managed.Please say a prayer for her.She needs alot of support.Thanx all.:thumbsup: :)

Sorry to hear of that diagnosis. Glad to hear it sounds like she'll be doing everything in her power to keep it in check, though. Will definitely keep you in my good thoughts!

Early diagnosis and regular checkups are great. But the key is trying to prevent that diagnosis in the first place. Lots of exercise. A balanced, high-fiber, low-fat, high quality-protein, and complex carbohydrate diet. Maintaining a normal, stable weight. Even with all those things, the dysmetabolic body types (the apple-shaped people) will tend to develop insulin resistance much sooner than others. And they have to work harder at fighting the diabetes once it comes on. They're the ones who get heart disease sooner than others, too, sadly. It's not fair, but it's a fact of life and body types. Good to hear you're a supportive and loving husband!
