My daughter who is 16 and should be having fun and doing fun things with her life - she is having to go thru so many tests for the entire past month and we still have absolutely no idea what is wrong, but seems like every other thing she puts in her mouth causes her physical pain - so we don't know WHAT it is, but know it has something to do with her eating - so we are having to watch every single bite of food that goes into her body.
I don't mean to come off harsh, but my family seems haunted by food and anything that goes with it - even some healthy things are messing with either her, or me or both - so it's been pretty scary at best..
I am not about to say I don't like or eat some things that aren't SO healthy,because I do and I am not a preachy health food freak - but food has EVERYTHING to do with your health and you should really pay attention before it's too late like we almost have! ;)

I'm astonished that you've had undiagnosed diabetes for so long and do not have any of the complications that come from long term untreated diabetes.
I've had type 1 diabetes for 35 years. I've been treating mine with insulin, diet, exercise/activity and most importantly- stress management.
the big BIG difference for me was stress management and portion control.
