I'm sorry you're struggling with this. Pre-diabetes actually runs in my family, and when I look back on it, it first affected me when I was 13. No one ever gave me a diagnosis until I was nearly 40, and they put me on Metformin. However, last spring I had to start using insulin, because even though I was losing weight, my blood sugars were way too high. I've learned that trauma can play a role in whether or not we develop this. I have MS and other chronic conditions, and my doctor said she thinks that my body was just overwhelmed with too much, so the diabetes reared its ugly head.

My T was helpful and supportive when I was struggling with my diagnosis. Do you have a supportive T?

Please don't beat yourself up over this. It's NOT your fault. I would suggest educating yourself more when you feel ready. Also, you can PM me for support if you want. I had a tough time with having to go on insulin, but now I realize it was necessary, and my blood sugars have improved with diet and exercise changes. I hope you feel more hopeful soon. Hugs if OK.
