Reply #42: Diabetic [View All]

Diagnosed two years ago, I was pretty far gone at that point. Doc put me straight onto insulin, now my endo says my blood sugar levels should have all the other diabetics worshiping at my feet. It takes a little time each day for my new routine, four shots (they never hurt) and blood testing (also never hurt). My feet feel weird and uncomfortable most of the time, but I've learned to live with that and it doesn't slow me down much. Of course, I watch what I eat carefully, but my team is very progressive and I can actually eat most anything, in moderation of course. I consider it a blessing in disguise, I'm probably healthier now than any time in the past 25 years. Hell, I don't even think of it as a disease any more, but more of an alternative lifestyle.
