Global Diabetes Rates Are Rising as Obesity Spreads

I suffer from diabetes and Im not even over weight shit, im not even above weight. I take care of myself go to the gym and eat right, but it just gets worse every couple of months or year i notice something different. My heart rate fluxing, waking up in cold sweats every night regardless of taking my medication religiously. It's genetic in my family so my dr's say it wouldn't have mattered if i was in good health or not, not sure i agree with that. Since ive been diagnosed with diabetes I have lost my 4 front teeth and noone can really explain why except that it was a systemic reaction to my diabetes. which caused a serious infection and major bone loss, so they said it would be 30k just to get implants because i would need a bone graph. I have crazy low blood sugar attacks, one was actually happened two days ago at work. I completely lost control of my senses and started freaking out sweating and shaking uncontrollably until a co worker came to my aid and gave me some lemonade and sugar cookies, thats twice it happened at work and i was fine that whole morning. The first time they had to call 911 and put me on oxygen. My Dr, who is a new dr for me also has diabetes and is doing her best to help me through this. Since then my body has slowly degraded and my immune system is in pretty bad shape.

I have degenerative disc disease too which makes working out even harder, believe it or not this was all diagnosed in the same visit. So i mainly swim...alot. I originally went in for back problems and found all this out. My life has been very unbalanced, I'm constantly depressed and angry at the world for this. I have problems like everyone else but it just...it just made shit even worse. Im doing my best to fight this. It doesn't help that everyone i know has a story about a friend or family member who died, lost a leg or went blind from it. My Dr's are growing i now have 7 dr's because i have to see a neurologist due to my back problem causing my discs to encroach on my nerves. Everyone tells me the same thing...YOUR SO YOUNG TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN..I was diagnosed at 29-30 and im 33 now. It is a serious problem and growing up i didnt think it was even a big issue or even something to worry about...I was wrong.
