At first, I had my phase of stupor and denial, and I would ask myself questions like, how is it possible if I have never been overweight, or I don't eat so badly that I am diabetic and things like that.

Me too just a a little over a year prior to my diagnosis I was running 5-6 miles a day and on much of a healthy lifestyle. I got away from it and put on a few pounds but nothing that required me to buy a new wardrobe. Now my mother's side has three generations of diabetes so I'm content with it being in my genetics.

Oh yes no insulin, I hate needles.
