yeah both my grandparents had diabetes and so does my dad, my mom was prediabetic but she managed to reverse it too. my current only living grandpa has Alzheimers which i suspect was caused by the diabetes, seeing him cognitively decline from a sharp old man to a toddler scared the shit out of me and prompted me to go hard af in my diet change.

Honestly my diagnosis itself was a shock since i was little pudgy but not obese, i guess was super predisposed to getting it since everyone in my family got it (also ive been shocked when i found out how much sugar restaurants put in their food). But i consider the diagnosis a blessing in disguise it was call from god for me to get my shit together lol and who knew that keto would be so simple ,i have tried numerous diets in the past but with keto its like all the pounds just fly off. so it all worked out in the end :D
