    My dad has had diabetes for about 18 years so far. Lately he's been managing it (well, better than he normally does). He still needs to lose a lot of weight though. He's not obese or even close to obese but losing weight will definitely help him out significantly.

    Just make sure you change your health around, make it your priority in life. Seriously. These computer jobs sitting at a desk makes you forget that when you were younger you had gym class everyday.

    It gets pretty bad for him sometimes with the shaking and all. It runs in my family too but I haven't gotten it yet. I can't imagine having to inject myself with insulin all of the time.

    Good luck.

    • "He still needs to lose a lot of weight though." That probably means he's obese. Sorry.monospaced
    • Nah. Not obese at all. He's about 6'4" and 260 lbs. Not 'that' big.fyoucher1

    • you don't have to be big to be obese. If you have little muscle it doesn't take much to be in the danger zone.Amicus
