I'm 39. Was diagnosed with diabetes 3 years ago. Both my parents have it. What are the chances of that? My diabetes is much worse than theirs. I have to take DuetAct and Januvia in order to control it. I hate this disease. I hate testing my sugar. I hate monitoring my diet. I hate that I cant afford the medications that will keep me alive. Everything about it stresses me out. Which in turn raises my blood sugar. I know I will die from complications from diabetes. Sometimes, I wish I just would.
