My Diabetes Journey
The Beginning of the Journey Sometime in 2010 I was diagnosed with Diabetes, Type 2. I was 470lbs, in a size 54 pants, 5xlt shirts and headed for an early, early grave. My fellow employees where I worked were worried about me. I was going to the bathroom at least 3 – 4 times an hour, due to my high sugar I was thirsty all the time. My initial sugar reading (fasting) was 521. Very high. I was shocked, saddened, embarrassed all the adjectives to describe shame. I couldn’t even play with my kids (daughter was 9 son was 5 at the time) because I was always tired and tired easily, always was hurting. Yes, I had become a diabetic.
