I wish I could say something wise and encouraging, but all I have is, that I was in the same boat.
I have been dx with diabetes type 2 and I take the pills 2x a day. But I must say it's the best thing I ever did!
I am still learning how to control my sugar levels with the right food choices and getting better exercise, but at least I am trying to make myself healthier.
Please get tested. You may have to take more pills you may not, you will never know until you do.
The decision is up to you.
Take Care and please keep us updated if you do decide to get re-checked!
It's OK to be scared about going thru something like that ...
I still have cake and cookies, I just don't have as much as I used to ... I am not exercising much right now, but you don't always need to go out to get fit, you can do it in your home as well.
Diabetes can cause so many complications later on in life, if it goes untreated you can have liver failure, lose your eye sight and some people I know have even lost limbs ...
I am not purposely trying to scare you, but I understand why you would be scare, because I was and still am.
((hugs))
