I've been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes...

...and I am devastated. I found out this afternoon after getting a call from my doctor. My A1C is super high (more than 10).

I am just shocked and pissed at myself. I have been trying to eat healthy and have started a vegan diet 2 and a half months ago. I also use a fitbit and walk over 10k steps a day. I have lost 37 pounds so far and am now questioning everything I am doing and if this weight loss was my effort or just because of the diabetes.

I feel scared to tell my parents because diabetes runs in our family and members have died due to complications from it. I truly didn't feel any of the symptoms of diabetes so I am shocked. I also have high blood pressure (regulated).

I was starting to feel good about myself, and now this. I am going to pick up the prescription, and will use it, but after that I don't know what to do.
