Same here, no diabetics in my family. My lifestyle for 25 years was the same as yours, i was a plain clothes policeman for 23 years, very irregular hours, drinking and bad eating habits is how i became a diabetic.

There was not much info at the time, early 80's, police doctors would put it down to fatigue so they would give you a bottle of codine and a bottle of duramine (a persctiption speed) to sort it.

One thing i would support is a sugar tax.
