I am pre-diabetic. Trying to keep from going full blown type 2.

I know this is an older topic but I'm type one diabetic. I've been diabetic for over 20 years.

As far as I know, non of my reptiles are diabetic (knock on wood!) :P
J/K, I flirt with the ragged edge of pre-diabetic and full blown diabetes. Hopefully that will change this year if I can get off my fat butt and commit to a healthier lifestyle.:(

For type ones, genetics. For type twos, a combination of genetic predisposition, and lifestyle issues, such as bad diet and being overweight.
