Being an American Indian, I avoid sugar, corn syrup, and all that stuff, and I'm careful about what kind of carbohydrates I eat. Type 2 diabetes is waiting in the wings if I get carried away with what I eat. I try to limit total sugar intake to 100 grams or less per day.
My Dad came down with type 2 diabetes. But he was a stubborn old bear, and he reformed his diet and started getting more exercise and he beat it. He was actually medically confirmed to no longer be diabetic.
So it is possible to turn your health around, even later in life.
