I was diagnosed with Type II. I have a long family history of diabetes, but none of my relatives managed it well, so I've seen what it can do when left untreated. I refuse to let myself get in to the same condition as my father, who didn't take care of it, and is now blind, on dialysis, and very close to losing a foot. I'm starting oral meds in the morning, and an aggressive diet and exercise routine as well.
If anyone knows of a good website/board for diabetes info and/or support, I'd love it if you could share the links. Thanks
