I hate to burst your giant bubble of (apparent) self-pity, but (based on the information you gave above) statistics absolutely do NOT dictate that you will die of diabetes. If hypoglycemia is a precursor to diabetes, it does not follow that you will absolutely get diabetes. Let me put it this way, cervical dysplasia is essentially a pre-cancerous condition. It does not mean that cancer will absolutely follow.
EDIT: I've just re-read my post, and I now realize that I sound like a complete bitch. I'm leaving the post intact, but please know that I didn't mean any of it to sound as harsh as it does. I'm having a crappy day and I just lashed out.
You didn't sound like a complete bitch. And you're right. And it wasn't self-pity... I guess it could of come off that way on some though. I kind of appreciate it when people 'lash out', their true opinions aren't skewed by false social requirements. ("You be cordial and make a good impression" bullshit.)
Anyway, reading back on the post, I realize I probably got a little off my main point... Okay I got WAY of my main point. Which was, people treat weight loss like it's a panacea for all their little health problems and just because I lost a bunch of weight means I'm healthy now and will stay healthy as long as I stay skinny. Which just isn't true. Weight loss while being a big part of getting healthy, is still only a part, not the whole.
