hi everyone
I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic two months ago I am 30 years old, overweight and Have a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. In them two months I have got my hba1c from 64 to 48, I was re tested early because I have lost 2 stone and my nurse wants to see about lowering my metformin ( 500x 2 ) my blood sugars are usually 5 ish before food and 5-6 2 hours after. I know all this stuff is good if it was my family member telling me this I would be saying how well they are doing and keep it up. But I don’t feel that way towards myself like I have done this to myself through bad diet, I’m 30 and i know it’s young to become type 2, I just feel totally ashamed of myself and defective. I don’t view any other diabetics this way just myself, I’m really struggling to accept this not In a denial way but more of a emotional way. I spoke to my dad who is diabetic and he feels This is maybe more of a general low self esteem than just diabetes but I just feel so down about it, I think it’s mainly my age that seems to be making me feel worse, has anyone else felt this way? Does it get better in time? Thank you
