On my birthday in January I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I had been pre-diabetic for years but chose to continue to live a life of over-eating and smoking. I hit my all time weight of 265 pounds.
After my apointment, I had no idea where to go with this disease. I decided I was going to fight this! So I read up on the disease and now I feel armed with knowledge. In 3 months I have lost 18 pounds and quit smoking. I am eating healthier than I ever had. My A1C has gone from 7 to 5.8 in 3 months! I have also not smoked again! I exercise 6 times a week. I am completely determined to fight this disease!! The results are starting to show and I still want to lose another 50 pounds to achieve a healthy weight level.
It is possible to fight this disease and don't let anyone tell you the opposite!!!
