Yaowen, (((safe hugs))) I am so sorry you are struggling with similar stuff! I hear that there are ways to reverse diabetes as well as prediabetes, so if you are only one point away, you can try to maybe alter some things - your sleep, your coping, your stress levels (by setting boundaries and limitations), your diet (by using different methods they have out there; I'm trying to figure out which one - the Obesity Code book, the Diabetes Code book, or Dr. Gourmet's diet plan), and other lifestyle changes (such as having a consistent routine, walking more - even if it's indoors and pacing, and getting movement and/or exercise in every day - even if it's just stretching).

My chronic fatigue syndrome is what kills my ability to manage all the above, and it affects my immune system, weight, and probably all the above. It's the CFS/ME stuff that really bothers me the most, and now this looming issue with a possible recurring/chronic MONO/EBV (which many scientists claim is behind CFS/ME to begin with - at least some versions of the chronic fatigue). I was hoping that the long-Covid studies on fatigue would demonstrate that chronic fatigue syndrome is real (not fictitious, somatoform, a personality disorder, or some otherwise mental health issue). But they are differentiating long-Covid fatigue from chronic fatigue syndrome, which does a disservice to sufferers of CFS/ME. Many discoveries have accidentally been made by investigating something entirely different, like Pavlov's dog.

Medical issues affect our mental health. I wish there was more parity in society as well, where our conditions weren't stigmatized.
