Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your situation - to be honest it sounds stress-inducing on its own. Your question is vague considering the type of advice you're looking for. What is your living situation like? Do you have any immediate concerns? Besides just general "stress", what bothers you the most? If you're willing to share, how recent is your diagnosis? One overall suggestion I have for you is to not psych yourself out. If you convince yourself that you have a low stress tolerance, you will. Having a medical condition that is exacerbated by stress is legitimate, but if you avoid all stress and never develop coping mechanisms then you will be worse off. If you notice yourself stressing about stress itself, just take a deep breath (I mean physically stop what you're doing and breathe in and out over the course of several seconds) and find out what's really bothering you. In terms of your health, you should find a good endocrinologist if you weren't referred to one already. This isn't meant to be medical advice, but type 2 diabetes is curable. It tends to be easier to cure if you take care of it sooner rather than later though, and after 6-7 years it is effectively permanent. A young person with the condition should be able to gradually lower his insulin resistance and become healthy again if he treats it as a priority.
