Lifestyle changes? I'm a rower.
Great. You've already been working to mitigate the risk.
You did say that you don't currently have Type 2 diabetes, right?
I'm pre-diabetic. Sometimes people just get sick. I hope you never have to swallow your pride.
Again, I will repeat what every major health and diabetes org has to say on the matter: lifestyle will have the most impact on the course of this disease.
In fact, we know this to be true because of studies we have on twins... same genetics, different environments, one might develop the disease while the other does not.
My point is, it would be better for patients to get more support to better their environment and lifestyle, than simply providing insulin.
I say this as someone who's lived with a chronic illness (autoimmune) for over a decade, so I'm not trying to sound holier than thou. It sucks to be sick, but I'd rather get support for things known to better my condition than things that don't.
