@windyshores and @astaingegerdm sometimes it just isn’t as simple as type 1 or type 2. In my own experience and health journey I have been BOTH, plus a pancreas transplant between the two types. I’ve also had many of the complications that come with diabetes (either type) and chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 4). In the 47 plus years that I’ve been dealing with this stuff (learning about diagnoses, treatment options, diet & nutrition, exercise & activity, lifestyle ….. etc) I’ve discovered that information is powerful and beneficial. It can lead to developing helpful habits towards making necessary changes. More important than any of my previous comments is acknowledging that I am a Christian. I have put my life into God’s hands for His care and keeping. I believe that God has directed His children to be good stewards of what He has given us (including our bodies), hence the information gathering and good habits development. I try to live as though everything depends on me. But ultimately I know that the outcomes depend on God. My faith demands that I leave it there and it is good.
