I have diabetes at the age of 26. I found out that I had diabetes through a check up at my doctor's office. I have had to change my eating habits and my exercise routine. It did not work all the way. I am on a prescription called Metformin. I have to go to the doctor every three months or so for my AC 1 test and to check on how the medication is working. All in all, I think that I am doing well living with my type two diabetes.
