Well pay your fee remove your clothes and Yvette will show you how
You went to school where you were taught to fear and to obey, be cheerful, fit in, or someone might think you're weird
Life can be perfect
People can be trusted
Someday, I will fall in love; a nice quiet home of my very own
Free from all the pain
Happy and having fun all the time
It never happened, did it?

What was your fasting glucose level?

What are they proposing that you do about this borderline diabetes?

Was the 6.2 number glycated hemoglobin A1C?

If so, then that would correspond to your blood sugars over the last ninety days averaging around 132 mg/dl, which would be indicative of early diabetes.

I guess watching what you eat and exercising more now could help you avoid later complications of diabetes, so it's good they caught it so soon.

Does diabetes run in your family?

No diabetes does not run in my family.

And I am so depressed that my life needs to change.

I think that you are lucky to have such an early diagnosis.   I hope it is going to be easy for you to manage your diet etc.

Fortunately, as an American, I have health insurance.  I take advantage of it and schedule all my regular tests.

So many Americans do not have this luxury.

A friend of mine researches this stuff at Eli Lilly. He says there might be some real improvements with diabetes meds soon, too.

I think they are aiming at getting rid of the needles for good.

Doing the wrong thing (hopefully without fucking things up too bad) will often point you toward what to do right.

Couldbecousin(loving), no.  He suggested I lat off sugar and starches and exercise.

I will have more bloodwork done in three months.
