I'm scared of becoming/ being a diabetic

If you don't have it, this is a wake up call to change! If you have it, accept it and take the beast by the horns and make the changes necessary to control it. I didn't until it got out of control and for some things to late, now I'm doing fire control to prevent some problems from progressing. Good luck!

I was diagnosed bout month ago and everyone was so sympathetic. I have taken the bull by the horns and changed my lifestyle, diet, personal trainer. In a weird way I'm almost glad I got it cause it has brought on a new me. I already have way more energy, eating better, losing weight and have actually started to enjoy working out. It's all how u pose yourself. Good luck.

Just waiting to hear from you Madinga. Hugs

Howdy Madinga!

Do you have diabetes or is it merely a possibility at this point?

Madinga, there is no need to fear becoming a diabetic. Do a lot of research on how to prevent it or to control it. Once you become better informed it won't be so scary. I have been a diabetic for 36 years and take reasonably good care of it but I have renewed my commitment to becoming healthier. It is just a part of me like my green eyes, I need to protect them every day and become adept at keep being healthy, the same with diabetes, A big Hug, Hope this helps. I have never been really denied anything because of my disease, I don't treat it as an illness, while I was young I had a very rewarding career and never missed work because of my diabetes!

It's alright to be afraid. This is something that will be with you for a lifetime but it can be controlled. But my questions to you are, given your discussion title, are you now a diabetic? If not, then what are you doing to avoid it? You may be giving yourself undue stress for no reason. What symptoms are you experiencing? Because having symptoms of being diabetic doesn't mean you are diabetic.
