Very glad to hear that you're working on keeping it under control. My spiel was for the sake of not just you, but anyone else reading this. I know it's hard but don't quit, particularly if you have people in your life who care about you.

I was horrified when I learned just how many people don't even make an attempt to manage their diabetes, and the much larger swath who say they do, but are just half-assing it because yes, you are severely restricted on your activities, places you can go eat, family gatherings, etc. It's a huge pain in the ass and most people don't have the time or knowledge to modify their lives if they otherwise feel "normal."

I have a friend of a family member I game with who is very overweight, she steals her father's ozempic to "take hits off once in a while" like it's a fucking vape pen. The father is bleeding through his skin and still won't take his meds or stop ordering takeout. This kind of nihilistic ignorance isn't uncommon at all.
