I will never forget the day I found out I’m a diabetic! I had ended up in the emergency room with acute abdominal pain. Seems I was in the middle of acute appendicitis at 2:30am. May 5, 1999 was what I called my reality check time.
My blood work came back and show my AC1 to be around 325. Now what I thought, most of my family is diabetic. So I knew what was coming, I just thought maybe it would skip me.
I had watch family members die as I was growing up over the years. So fear started to take over, hell I thought I’m only 42 years old! The doctor gave me a list of diabetic doctors so I could pick one to go to. He advised me to pick one right away. I would also need to go to the diabetes class to learn how to control my sugar levels.
Great, when was I going to find time to fit all this in my work day?
next post will be on the diabetes class.
So Your Diabetic
