My condition is under control too.
If you have had problems with the condition then I would love to know what they were.
Overeating and lack of excercise can exacerbate the level of blood glucose in your body which would probably lead to Type one diabetes with its accompanying problems, but Type two diabetes is easily controlled and has no direct symptoms in itself.

I might add that I am not overweight and enjoy regular excercise.

Type 2 I have found was easily controlled but not everyone is so lucky some people have to take medication.
