Type 2 diabetes
So I think I'm about to get a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, pending labwork this week. I had a urine sample taken last week and it was positive for glucose and yeast. I've been more thirsty than usual, had intermittent blurry vision, and been tired. In addition, the last bloodwork I had at my last check-up my A1C was 6. Everyone on my mom's side of the family has it, so there's a huge genetic component to it. I turned 45 in October.
And my situation is more complicated because I just finished a year of treatment for binge eating disorder. I think yo-yo dieting, BED, and genetics have really played the biggest role in this. That said, I feel guilt and shame--because society looks at Type 2 diabetics as lazy and uncaring about their health.
Any tips? BTDT? Questions I should ask? What I should expect next?
