Sorry to hear that Csc, If there is no strong family history of DM try loosing 30-40 pounds and you might just cure yourself, loosing weight when you are young by healthy diet and exercise is the only way to CURE Diab, if not it's life long treatment. Be serious about this, if you choose to neglect DM can be more serious than cancer. Didn't meant to scare ya, but u need to realize how serious your outlook shud be. It slowly affects your whole body mainly nerves, vessels kidneys eyes heart etc Doctors and medicine don't treat you ,you treat yourself. They just see you for 10 mins, the rest 24-7 you take care of yourself. So do take care. YOU MUST START ON A GOOD DIET & EXERCISE plan and get back in the game. Beat it while you are young and capable. All these based on the belief that your DM is not inherited. And if by unfortunate circumstances you are predisposed to DM still doing the same literally keeps it in check without any major issues.
