I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type II on March 30, 2015.

There is a whole category at this site devoted to this topic, so there is more to say, there. In my case, I was lucky – early inset meant that diet, alone, is taking a good whack at control. I have always exercised regularly; in fact, I cut out the weight training parts (at least for now).

Within 3.5 months, my numbers all reduced to non-diabetic levels, and my weight returned the 2014 me to the 1984 me (although my 1984 hair did not return), and my dosage on the medication (a well tolerated drug known as metformin) is getting dialed back.

This is the second chronic condition I have developed. The first was in 2005, blood clots derived from one of the known hyper-coagulative mutations (G20210A), which there is a category for here, also.

Age. It is not for the young.
