Just over a year ago I found out that I had type 2 diabetes. I was 27, more or less fit, not the typical person to get type 2 diabetes. My doctor even thought I had type 1 at first because I was so out of the normal profile, but apparently I won the genetic lottery, because as I would find out soon after, my grandfather got it around 30 years of age and he was always a beanpole himself.
I decided to start this blog because of Men's Health magazine as a matter of fact. I'd been subscribed for a little while before I got 'the news', and I noticed they always had quite a few little tips and tricks in the front of the magazine, and a lot of them related to how not to end up with diabetes. I had written them a letter, which was published a month or two ago, asking them if they could round up all those tips and put them in a special article or issue. Essentially they said no, so I decided if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.
Hence this blog. And off we go.
