My name is Cynthia, I'm 28 and live in California. I have insulin resistance but am not considered diabetic or prediabetic. The only time I have hyperglycemia is when I'm on corticosteroids for my asthma or rheumatoid arthritis, which is currently the case.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
