@nevergiveup You're right: it can be reversed. Mine was for a few years, but my nurse told me that it is a progressive condition.

@nevergiveup Well done. I hope I won't need the injections, but I will take whatever continues to give me a good quality of life. At the moment Metformin has been brilliant for me.

Don't be discouraged. It's not the end of life and you will receive a lot of contradictory advice over diet. I have been told no carbs and that some carbs are ok. Same with sugar. It's low sugar not no sugar. Fruit is good, fruit is bad: I've been told both.
I'm not giving you any advice other than to find a moderation with the aid of one trusted source suggested by your medic. I don't know where you are, but I only listen to NHS advice in the UK and ignore the internet 'gurus' and even my well-meaning friends. That's one way to keep sane. I still enjoy my treats, but not as often as I used to.
I wish you well as you work through it.
