    Got the news this morning but haven’t brought myself to tell anybody yet so you’ll be the first. I did the glucose resistance test last week and it seems I have type 2 diabetes. I felt fine during and after the tests so I thought maybe I’d be ok but apparently not so much.

    It was almost inevitable, I think, considering dad and I are so similar and he has it. I’m still processing it though. I don’t think I have any of the symptoms of it but no doubt if I don’t start managing it they’ll start popping up. This is my first real health issue. Never broken a bone or had to go to hospital besides normal infant stuff. Not as invincible as I suspected.

      Definitely sucks getting old. My dad had type 2 as well. Diagnosed after multiple heart attacks & strokes. Type 2 can be managed with diet & exercise. It’s not the worst.
