LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE

There are so many life changing experiences I could write about. But there is one that has change my life completely, I was diagnosis with Type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes is when your body is resistant to the effects of insulin your body produces some but not enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level. There is no cure for diabetes. Having diabetes is a complete life changing experience that no one is ready for. You have so many behavior changes. You will need to make a difference in your blood glucose control through your food choices and your daily physical activities. The completed picture is to focus on health lifestyle changes.
Over the course of the seven years I had indulge in many changes on how your body feels daily. You can sugar lows and highs. When your blood glucose is extremely
high it is just like having thick syrup flowing through very small veins. Extremely high sugar glucose puts a strain on the heart. I am mostly scared when my sugar drop low while you are asleep, but I know that I have a guardian angel watching over me. There have been lots of events that have accursed in my journey. One instance that happen to me when I arrival at church I started down the stairs and when I realize what had
happen I was at the bottom of the stairs. That was very scary because I don’t remember how I fell.
My first treatment was oral medicines that did not work. So with the help from many doctors I am now taking 4 insulin shots a day.
Going through diabetes can cause you to be depressed but you have to pull up your boots and start the journey for the rest of your life.
I am truly blessed to have friend and family who take care of me and watch over me through this life changing experience.
