Diabetes?????????

That is very strange that your Dr. is trying to put you on medication without your blood work coming back, just because you are overweight, does not mean you are going to become diabetic. At your age though, it is very wise to go on a weight loss program - it will help your heart and keep you healthy longer. If you suspect that you may be becoming diabetic, you can control the amount of sugar you intake and you can follow some simple rules and control it with the way you eat.
