    @dsboohead, yes I am pretty small, i was 135 when i was diagnosed. Diabetes is something i inherited from my mother. My oldest was also diagnosed with diabetes. Which unfortunately lead them to kidney failure and than dialysis. After years of treatments they both got transplants a couple year apart and are now living their best life. He crazy thing is that i changed my career and decided to be a Hemodialysis Technician, lol

    Have they evaluated you for type 1 -- so measuring insulin production, and all that? You sound more like a LADA/type 1 than you do type 2.
