I always grew up a little chubby, I struggle with self image a lot and you can say I’m self

Doctors don’t judge, they just give the results and offer suggestions to help manage it better.

The isolation, exhaustion and frustration are common for diabetics. We talk about methods to deal with these things in this sub.

This isn't medical advice just my own experience going through something similar around your age.  Burnout is real and you'll find lots of posts about it here. It sounds like you've got a lot going on so maybe just try and aim for doing one thing tomorrow. Maybe it's just checking your sugars no matter what they are. Or taking insulin. Maybe that one thing is talking to a medical professional about what you're going through
