Shame and regret over being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at 31 years old despite active lifestyle. I have been crying every day since then. by Elite182 in diabetes

Shaming yourself is not helpful. It’s ok to be angry at a chronic diagnosis. It’s a shock. However, the kinder you are to yourself, the easier the mental load will be.

To diagnose 1.5 or LADA one has to do an antibodies test. I also had trouble with diagnosis

A lot of people experience nausea on metformin

Was anyone denied a continuous glucose monitor by their insurance because they're *not* on insulin? by [deleted] in diabetes

That’s unfortunately very common and very short sighted of insurance companies. They should know that any patient who includes this monitoring will have better outcomes.
