Diabetic challenges
16 months ago
I was diagnosed as diabetic in February of 2006. During the subsequent 2+ years, I went through a lot of personal challenges, including two surgeries of my own.
While I’ve had moderate success, managing my diabetes, it is now time to really dig in.
I’ve moved to a home, joined a health club, and life has finally steadied itself.
I’ve lost about 8-10 pounds during the last six months, putting me in the low 180’s. If I get down to about 170 +/-, I’m certain my glucose numbers will decline, as well, and I’ll feel better, generally.
Ready or not, here I come.
