AshleyP, I KNOW how you feel, I TOO went thru something very similar and was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last year, I felt like I got ALL the crappy mess from my parents gene pool too and it’s been a bit of a struggle! I have been trying to take a more holistic approach to this dis-ease because I don’t want to be a slave to meds which could end up hurting me long-term. It is my sincereset hope that you’ll be able to find and incorporate some holistic methods in your healing process as well and I truly wish you ALL the best!
