I’m not going to give you too many facts on diabetes, other than it is life threatening and can harm your body, not to mention your mental state.

I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in August of 2009. I knew something was wrong but was so afraid to go to the doctor. I became dizzy a lot of the time. I was weak and had no energy. I had a thirst I could not quench. It seemed the more water I drank the more I wanted. I couldn’t get enough to eat; therefore I gained a lot of weight. Which I did not need because I was already overweight.

I would go to the grocery store and could not stand the noise. I was so irate to people. I yelled at a mother with a screaming child. I am not like that. I stopped right then and there and said to myself something is terribly wrong. When you know your body, it speaks to you. I just ignored the signs, thinking it was old age creeping up on me. I just couldn’t get anything going in my life.

I didn’t think I was depressed, I’ve been down that road. My husband finally talked me into going to the doctor. As we never had health insurance, we finally had it. So I went. Please don’t let that stop you. I did and it cost me.What a shock I received when the doctor told me I had diabetes. Nothing had ever been wrong with me. I was usually in good health most of my life. I sat there in his office for about 10 minutes and cried. I was scared, very scared.

I have never been so scared in my life. I have friends that have Type II diabetes, and I felt sorry for them. Not really knowing much about the disease, I didn’t know what to do. My emotions ran from being scared to being in shock. My whole body went into distress mode. Why? What happened to my body?

Being adopted I did not know my health history. I did find out and my natural father had diabetes and died from it. Boy did that wake me up. I then told my doctor let’s do what needs to be done. He was wonderful. He got me on the right pills and I am now getting better. My blood sugar is down, as well as my blood pressure and have lost 83 pounds. Thank you Lord and my doctor.

Start exercising, now! Eat your veggies and fruits. Learn to enjoy eating all over again, this time the right way. Take your medicines. You can do it. I did and am glad I did.

So if you have any of the symptoms, run don’t walk to your doctor. Have them run the tests you need and get on medication. Please don’t wait, it could kill you, it almost did me. Talk to him and get educated. Look it up on the internet. There is a wealth of information. Education on diabetes is your best form of keeping alive and living a good life. Good luck to you.
