Tell us a little bit about your diagnosis. Back in 2011 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Although I was not overweight, there is a significant family history of diabetes. My grandmothers had diabetes, my mother had it and my brother has it. In order to control my diabetes I made some changes to my diet and started riding my bike more frequently.
