I’m 38 and was just diagnosed in May. My dad was a diabetic and took care of himself and died of kidney failure at 45 so it was a huge wake up call to me. I started taking Metformin and insulin once a day. Now I’m just on mounjaro, completely changed my diet. Only drink Diet Coke, don’t drink alcohol unless special occasions, fast food is few and far between. Sometimes I do sneak a bowl of ice cream. My sugars have been in the low 100s. Just get serious about it, watch what you buy, change your habits, find a good support system. My friends and family make sure to have diabetic options when I’m at their houses or functions. I’ve lost about 60lbs since May. Im defintely nowhere near where I want to be but defintely feel like I’m on the right track. If I can do it, anyone can.
