Yeh, it is a bit of a shock to hear that diagnosis. Stress was the main trigger for me too. But as you are finding, it is something that you can actually do something about and not just pop pills and hope. Having a target to work to and the motivation of if you don't do something your health is on the line does focus the mind.

Yeah, I hate to pop pills, if I can avoid it...

It seems that many of the tools used in NBE can actually have a positive effect on diabetes, EPO in particular. But I will be honest with you, what I have found indicates that if dealing with diabetes and trying NBE, a slower approach may be necessary. But I believe it can be done though. I am still on the learning curve myself and if you would like to have a chat about what I have found so far let me know.

Yeah, I am a slowly but surely goes it type anyway, so no trouble.
