Getting Motivated to Take Type 2 Diabetes Seriously

How hard it is to get motivated to take type 2 diabetes seriously?

I've been a diagnosed diabetic for 14 years. I knew I had a family history. I knew how to eat properly, I just didn't do it. It took many years and my diabetes getting close to where I would need insulin for me to change my habits. I am now normal weight, A1C of 5.7 and off of all but metformin.

Why did it take so long? I could have felt great all these years!
