I was recently dx'd and I'm very embarrassed because I'm overweight. The thing is though I eat very healthy, there's nothing in my diet I can change and I don't overeat, really!! I have chronic pain issues including fibromyalgia and I'm waiting for surgery on a prolapsed disc so exercise is currently out of the question. I'm looking forward to recovering from surgery and being able to introduce exercise as a means of reducing my numbers. I avoid telling anyone about having diabetes because I know they'll take one look at me and think it's because of poor choices but it honestly isn't, it's apparently genetic for some people and is inevitable no matter what.
