Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
As you see there are others with Type 2 Diabetes
I’m one of them too. When I got diagnosed I got angry! I had eaten healthy, being physically active etc.
Bur- you can’t fight genetics. Many times others in the family will also have Type2 diabetes.
Anyway, I avoided anything with added sugar.
Don’t be too scared-
Listen to the other members sharing their stories.
Weight loss is magic. I lost 45 lbs on a diet over a year.
All my numbers were normal then and I didn’t need to take the medication.

I am not convinced that people who are able to drop lbs easily and lower A1C were diabetic to begin with . Diabetes is more than high AIC involving heart and many other systems. It is a very difficult disease. Most true diabetics are insulin resistant which means taking off weight is very difficult.
