Fuck.
I have Type II diabetes.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And fuck again.
On the positive side, they caught it incredibly early: my blood sugar is only a couple of points into the diabetic range. Also, this WILL lead to a healthier lifestyle, and if I play my cards right I should be able to avoid health problems for some time to come.
It's hereditary, and with the weight I gained from the Nortryptiline and my sedentary artist's lifestyle (not to mention artist's diet), I suppose this shouldn't be a real surprise. Still, I had my last piece of illicit chocolate the night before last, when I found out, and I can't have any refined sugar until I see the doctor next week. Which sucks.
Grrr. *Looks longingly at chocolate hidden in the cupboard by George, who removed it from temptation without even being asked. What a considerate fellow!* :-D

You're right, the good thing is that it is caught early so there's a lot you can do.
Type 2 diabetes is almost completely reversible(the effects of it etc), if you change your lifestyle etc.
It'll be ok. Give me a call/email if you want to chat.
