And I also imagine him wanting to eat his favourite foods after having to maintain strict control for so long. I think I may have read too many posts today on OH about diabetes not resolving post DS. That was a bit of a downer.  In those instances, it seemed like people had diabetes for longer and were using insulin. I am trying to remember the statistics and focusing on the facts, such as my age and duration of diabetes.  In this moment, it's just hard. any kind of chronic illness diagnosis is hard. and as everyone has said, Diabetes is no joke. a diagnosis at 30 is a bit jarring, though I know i am fortunate compared to so many.The 8.7 fasting blood sugar has me spooked. I wasn't expecting it'd be that high. I'll adjust in a few days time.  Again going to work to think positively. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite65" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />p.s. also thinking of the doctors who told me the surgery was too drastic for me. while it would not have been practical in my case to have the surgery back then due to life stuff, going ahead if I were asked, I'd tell someone with 'Pre'-D that they needed to get the DS before a t2d diagnosis, because it is only a matter of time. For obese people with Pre-D, the chances of it not progressing further are very slim. Even with all my exercising and carb control, I am here with this diagnosis in barely 4 years of pre-D diagnosis. the damage is being done even if the arbitrary threshold hasn't been reached yet.</blockquote>
