Hey, a ketogenic/low-carb diet has been shown to reverse obesity caused type-2 diabetes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSeSTq-N4U4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSeSTq-N4U4 Juice fasts have been also shown to help too, see the documentary 'Fat, sick and nearly dead' for a couple of examples. Life doesn't have to end at 40 because of your health. Also check out bulletproofexec.com

Yeah, I'm doing the low-carb diet thing, and my diabetes is fairly well controlled at the moment. I'm not in eminent danger of collapsing and dying as far as I know, but it's just that going through the experience I did (I developed something called DKA or "Diabetic Ketoacidosis" which is a life threatening condition, hence the hospital stay) has made me much more aware of the inevitable decline in health and fitness as I age. Yes, I know that proper exercise and diet and what-not can slow the process down, but I can no longer pretend that it isn't going to happen to some degree. Having that shoved in my face very unceremoniously has given me a new perspective on certain things. :-)
