“Can I live a normal life with type 2 diabetes?”

Yes, it is possible to live a completely normal life while taking your medications and eating a slightly modified diet. You also should add a bit more activity to your lifestyle.

Yes you most certainly can. It is still possible for most people with type 2 diabetes to enjoy the holidays, activities, and family/friend events. Work with your doctor, and/or registered dietitian or diabetes educator (if referred to one) to set up some lifestyle and activity modifications as part of your health plan.
