No, I just assumed you would be overweight as most are, I am, but I was able to control diabetes with diet, there is a book called eat
to beat diabetes, and it helped me alot, got me right on track, exercise was also a big key, 2o min a day does not sound like much, but you will see, just stay religious about it. I also had some other medical issues that came up later but I will not go into that long story. before all the other stuff came along I was able to get my a1c from 9.5 down to 5.
