Oh shit, I'm sorry to hear about that. I just did my blood work yesterday for the first time in several years. I hope nothing bad is discovered from it.

I'm 5'11" at 188lbs though. I'm overweight counting from BMI, and I really should change my current lifestyle. I go out to eat a lot more than normal and I don't actively work out. I am active in a way though since I work in a warehouse in this dead ass heat of summer, and I walk at least 7k-10k steps a day depending on the work.

Well hopefully all goes well for you. Fortunately it's a case by case thing it seems, so even if the conditions are optimal you could be good

Weird. Wouldn't expect type 2 in someone so thin and healthy. On the other hand, type 1 would typically show up at a younger age than yours. There are exceptions in both though. I'm type 1 though, so what do I know?

It's pretty bizarre. I could be wrong and be type 1. I'm no medical expert. I just used Google haha.

sorry homie :/
youll be ok tho long as ya stay on top of it.

Thanks. I'll have no problem staying healthy. I enjoy living an active lifestyle and I'm not too picky about what I eat. I'm just bummed that this is going to prevent me from serving.

Diabetes runs in my family, so it's only a matter of when to me tbh

I didn't even know I was diabetic so as long as you're on top of it, it can't be that bad right?

With a fasting glucose of 84? What did you eat to make it go over 200?

Well they gave me that syrupy glucose drink.
