Type 2 Diabetics

So we just recently found out my dad is a diabetic. I know that as long as he takes care of himself he will be around for a long time. I was just wondering if some people with type 2 diabetes can inform me on some things. I just want to be well informed so I can educate him and my family on what we need to know. Thanks and feel free to add me if you want I might have questions to ask. Have a good Monday everyone.
