I have friend who had diabetes in his mid 30s, now age 70+ already.

He bought a tool to check for blood sugar level everyday https://s.taobao.com/search?q=%E8%A1%80%E7%...indexz_20170120

And inject insulin himself whenever necessary

a few days ago doctor say i am diabetic.
i am not shocked, because my family are diabetic.
my mum was diabetic when pregnant with me. - is it true because of this my chances of being diabetic is higher?
doctor say my sugar is very high. like super high. now go down already but still in 11 to 14 range.

at first when he found out high sugar, first few days he keep on inject insulin when my sugar is higher than 14.
so now no more insulin because below 14. so he gave me 850mg metformin 2 times a day for 2 weeks. then 3 times a day for like 2 to 3 months.

i know what i am getting into and well aware what is going to happen.
but i want to understand what is going on with my body right now. i read here and there but i cannot understand a few issues.

i am supposed to be type 2 diabetis. the doctor didn't explain much. asked the diabetic nurse to coach me.
she say because i whacked too much sugar, so now my pancreas is damaged. cannot produce insulin. so need to cut sugar and eat medicine.

i don't understand, so now is my pancreas damaged and cannot produce as much insulin or am i insulin resistant like what they wrote in medical website?
or cannot determine whether my pancreas is doing fine or just that my cells becoming insulin resistant? you just can't tell?

why am i prescribed metformin? what does it really do? from what i can recall it is supposed to make my cells more sensitive towards insulin and make me produce less excess insulin into my blood stream? i need an answer.

why do they need to treat me like a chronic patient?
"unfortunately, you have to live with it now"
"there's no cure, it is a chronic disease, but you still can control it with healthy lifestyle"

now the problem now is, that metformin is giving me terrible diarrhea.
it happens for a few days already. yesterday no pass motion. i don't know why, but today..

i shit in my pants on my way to work. i cannot control my bowel movements at all. when i need to go, i cannot tahan.
i take public transport to work. i already reached office today but took a cab back home because i shit in my pants.

this week i shit in my pants for 5th time already. now i am having problem getting to work.
i am thinking to quit my job now due to long travelling distance in the morning.

before i take this metformin, i don't feel sick at all. i can run and jump. but this medicine is making me sick and taking a lot of MC this week.
please share your experience with me because i am getting depressed right now.

seriously considering quitting my job and wear adult diapers.

he say maybe lower to 500mg but 3 times a day.
currently is 850mg 2 times a day.
1 more week later will be 850mg 3 times a day. --- this i am even more afraid.

For accurate results it is always required to fast at least 8-10 hours for blood test.

Pregnancy may cause the sugar level to increase and if it does increase above normal, it is not a good time to apply.

After the pregnancy another test may be needed to show that the level has returned to normal, otherwise it is considered diabetic.

Fasting blood sugar test showed reading above 7 before I start the remedy if I still remember correctly. I ran the test for the employment medical check-up. After a week of repeat checkup to to confirm, my blood sugar level went down to normal level but I don't remember the exact figure. Might need to ask the recruiter for the letter from the doctor to get the exact figure.
