It sounds like what you want is for your fairy godmother to wave a magic wand over you and solve all your problems. Hey, I'd like the same thing. But at some point an adult has to act like an adult, recognize there is no fairy godmother with a magic wand, and do what is necessary to solve her own problems.
That is what you are *not* doing -- taking the steps to solve your problem.
The skin on your neck is not going to get lighter until you lower your blood sugar levels. In fact, that discoloration is going to spread: if it isn't on them now it is going to be in your armpits, on your upper inner thighs, under your breasts, under your lips and above your chin, in the skin on your knuckles and on your inner elbows. If you continue to ignore the problem, it will continue to spread while your organs are destroyed by the sugar in your bloodstream. Your arteries and veins will also be destroyed by that sugar, and you will end up losing your toes or your feet or your legs. You will lose your eyes. And before you lose those body parts, you will be in continuous pain.
You have Type 2 diabetes. Your choices are to take responsibility for dealing with that or not. You have been told repeatedly here that you should be eating a low carb diet. You've been told why. You've had book recommendations that explain what to eat and why.
If you want your life to continue as it is now, do nothing. If you want to lead a healthy, active, comfortable life then quit whining and take some of the advice that's been offered.
Sorry to sound like a bitch, but you haven't seemed to have heard the message when people are nice about how they say it. I've been where you are now, but I chose not to stay in that place. You can make the same choice, but you have to be willing to do it and willing to pay the price to do it.
