All those are great responses guys. I was just 40 pounds over weight. Very active life style,but I developed T2. My paternal,maternal,my aunt,uncle, mother, and myself are all T2. My Dr is currently doing genetics testing to see if I have any other hereditary illnesses,so she can start early treatment.T2 is hereditary. I did lose 50 pounds,watch my diet. Put my T2 in remission for a year. My BS is rarely over 150 anymore.

That diabetes is caused by eating to much sugar

Everyone think if you take your medication then you can eat enything,

That you 'did it to yourself' by 'eating too much sugar'!

Type 2 can be hereditary and I’m told often you can’t have diabetes you are thin you exercise and you watch what you eat. I do exercise I’m at a great weight most of the time I watch what I eat and I am a diabetic! I don’t judge I just want support for when I want chips that’s my downfall or my chi tea, it’s a hard journey to take alone, unless you also have diabetes, Sue
