And what a shock indeed!

My mother had Type 2 diabetes for about 20 years. She had an appalling lifestyle like you wouldn't believe it. She didn't care about diabetes nor her health as a matter of fact. Never suffered complications, never ended up in hospital because of diabetes. She died of lung cancer.

But I'm not willing to chance it. I am taking good care of myself. 'Warnings' like you say scare me more than death itself, and I'm not kidding. I've seen people ending up in a nursing home after such warnings.
