The same person? Its all I could think of when watching our boy navigate the grimey deep

Recently diagnosed

Hi everyone. 38 year old male. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes last month. Been struggling with prediabetes for a few years. Numbers were on a downward trend and then shot up to 6.7 from 6.1 in the last 7 months.

Like others, am insanely devastated, embarrassed, failure all of the above. I had been dieting and went from 298 pounds down to 246 and have been around that number for about a year now.

I did recently have a lot of stress and underwent surgery. (Im sure that played a small part it in)

My doctor prescribed me metformin and said to watch what I eat. I already ate like a diabetic person for the last year to try and preempt this possibility.

Two weeks after I just happened to have another a1c test and it went down to 6.5 without medication. I have had my libre CGM on for 18 days so far (not a long time) shows that Im in a good place. I have screen shots of what it says so far. I feel like Im being lulled into a false sense of security.

What do you guys make of this? Anyone else have experience with this?
