This is a normal post Welcome to the club, we have cake.
Well we used to but it's all rice crackers now...

I'll tell you what I got told and found out for myself for what it's worth.

Get your medical exemption certificate.
You are now the proud owner of a chronic illness!
That means no more paying prescription charges, eye tests etc.

You'll be assigned a diabetic nurse to keep an eye on you.
They will likely prescribe you metformin.
Metformin is good, causes you to loose weight and has been shown to slow down the ageing process in lab mice.
If you are prescribed statins BEWARE.
There are many types and a lot have nasty side effects.
Leg cramps
back pain (sciatica)
Memory loss (avoid the ones that can cross the blood brain barrier)
Try and get a self testing kit off the nurse, feedback on your blood sugar levels is key to control.

As soon as you say "type 2" people will assume you are a porker, even if you're wasting away. Get used to that. But you might have to cut down on the beer. Say hello to your new friend vodka.

Apparently everything turns to sugar in the end even carbs.

Don't go to the extreme in reducing sugar either because you can go too far.
Tell your other half if you're ever acting pissed but haven't been drinking it might be a hypoglycemia attack. People have died in police cells because of this. In this event the best thing in the world is a piece of toast with jam on it.

Good luck and remember it's better than bum cancer.

This is a normal post ^^Best summary of NIDDM on the interwebs.
To which I'd add that if you ARE a porker, have a look at the results of bariatric surgery. Weirdly the DM switches off before you lose enough weight to account for insulin receptors recovering.

This is a normal post Got a little bit of a belly but nothing obese
I suspect it was the excessive beer and little sleep that caused the Type 2.
