well, the disease runs on my family heavily, almost every woman has it, and I am quite overweight myself. I have been having to sleep after every meal for the last few weeks and am always very thirsty so myself and my parents think I might be diabetic. What foods should I stay away from/ eat more of, until I find out for sure?

I’m not sure what i should do.. my parents abuse me..?

So I am sixteen, I live in B.C. My mom and dad used to abuse my three brothers and me when i was little, and they moved out a long time ago and now i am stuck here. They constantly call me down and hit me. My dad is an alcholic, aswell as my mom.. but my dad is on antibuse so he cannot drink and my mom is not. I live a good distance out of town, and they lock me out of the house sometimes, sometimes at night too and it gets really cold.. my mom will start screaming in my face and hold my throat against the wall and if i try to move or stop her from doing that she will hit me, i have bruises all down my ribs, arms and legs and my head it swollen from having my hair pulled so much. I have gotten so sick of it that i just fight her back now, and im sick of putting up with this shit when i am a good kid. My dad, if he gets really mad.. he would seriously kill me, he almost killed my brother one year i remember…. anyways there is just too much to talk about and explain.. the point is that i am unable to live there anymore, i really think that if i have to stay there i will end up killing myself.. And i cant just leave because i am Type one diabetic and i am very insulin dependant.. Social services have been involved with my family a few times before but i just wont leave.. I finally talked to a school councilor a few days ago at school and she called a social worker that i have talked to about a year ago, and she knows my situation and everything. But basically, my only choices are to go home, or get foster parents in another town. I really dont want to go home.. i cant do it.. but i also dont want foster parents at all! I dont want to have to go to a new school and lose all my friends, and just everything about it.. I refuse to go to foster care.. and they wont let me go on independant living even though i am 16, i get good grades and i am responsible (theres stuff they dont know ive done lol) but really.. i am going to have to go home at some point.. i will need more insulin and diabetes supplies.. im staying at a friends house at the moment, but they dont exactly have much money and they are getting evicted on the 1st and even though a few friends of mine have said i can stay/live with them.. i just dont want to do that to them, you know what i mean? If you were me, what would you do? I really, im just lost… I feel like theres no hope..
Also, the councilor said that if i was ever able to find a roomate/rent and apartment on my own, that the government or whatever would cover my medical stuff for my diabetes, is this true? I dont know what to do.. especially since i also have school.. and i dont look at dropping out as an option.. since ive made it to grade ten i might as well suck it up until i grad so i can have a better future..
Thanks for any answers..
The thing is.. my brothers think im just the “little princess” and they wouldnt help me.. And my parents put on a show infront of everyone so it seems like theres nothing wrong. My mom is very strong, but i can take her, but my dad on the otherhand.. i could never even.. wow. I dont really have a job at the moment because i live too far out of town and my parents wouldnt drive me. .. Im surprised by how many people have answered this though.. wow, thank you guys..
