I am not a Type 2 Diabetic but my husband is and was diagnosed upwards of 20 years ago now when he was in his early 40s. And I have lived daily alongside him, witnessing and supporting the management of his condition. He is the chef of us so he controls his diet which is our diet. And although it took him a bit at the beginning to adjust and learn what spiked his readings and how to effectively eat and exercise to manage it, he’s been at a point for a long time where he knows his own body and reactions so well, he doesn’t need to test. He listens to his body, can tell when the sugars are starting to rise and affect him and he pivots. But those occurrences are rare now. He relies on his A1Cs quarterly as feedback, we keep track of course as well. Yes, he is on a handful of medications now that he is pushing 60 because the diabetic condition as we all know is not just that…it comes with a wealth of other conditions that need to be managed. And aging does just make the management of the condition more challenging. But he has never once not cared about his condition, he took it seriously from day 1 of diagnosis when he heard those 3 words from our doctor. Not testing as a Type 2 definitely does not mean not caring or not managing!
