Will i have type 2 diebetes for the rest of my life ?

YES if not treated: Even if you can return your glucose to normal with extreme weight loss or GI bypass surgery, the diabetes will always be there -- and can become more significant with weight gain, age, stress, infection, surgery, certain medications, etc. Remember to never revert back to your old lifestyle, always be vigilant and keep watching your backside.
