Hello Chels,
Sorry I do not have an answer for you. I am on here because my husband as well. He was diagnosed back on Friday and it was because of blood work for something else and sugar of 13 came back. He is only 31 and I am concerned just like you.
He is going to be going to diabetic education classes soon. We are hoping we can control it without medication. Have you asked if he could also without resorting to medication right away?
