I say concerned just because such a large number of adults >40 are either prediabetic or diabetic these days (up to 1 in 3), many don’t even realise it. You’re young still so plenty of time to modify your lifestyle in ways that reduce your risk.What would I do in your shoes? Take positive action, that will help reduce your anxiety/stress. Reduce your carb intake by reducing portion sizes of things like pasta, rice, potatoes, breakfast cereal etc. There’s loads of food lists out there showing the ones which are high carb, take a look & see where you can cut back. You don’t need to cut them out altogether, just reduce, that’ll help with the weight & reduce the load on your pancreas.Finally, if you don’t already, more exercise, 30 minutes a day for at least 4-5 days a week. It could just be a walk if necessary. Again great for dealing with anxiety & improving positivity. Also burns off any excess sugar floating around.Good luck & try not to worry too much, you’ll be fine.</blockquote>
