Hi--I found out I had diabetes type2 exactly 2 months
ago!!Was55 years old, about 315 lbs and unemployed for a long time
I was smoking about 2 packs a day [a little less now-thats 1
thing I have got to work on!]not exersizing,not really,really
caring about anything [family,myself,] and was told about 2 years
ago I had prediabetes but not taking care of it!
At the end of Aug.I was taken to the hospital with some
arm pains[I was thinking heart attack] and flulike symptoms!
They told me I had diabetes type2 and kept me in the hospital
for 3 days.I was told I have hypertension,high blood presure,and
I have to really try to quit smoking!As soon as I checked out
I was determined to do what I HAD to do to fix myself!Took me
awhile but lets see-I am now walking at least an hour every
day-lost about 60lbs-before I loaded up on the salt with EVERYTHING
but now I am picking up the salt shaker twice to put on my
raw vegetables and had a meal where I didnot use the saltshaker
at all[never even thought I would ever do that!]
This is kind of weird but my mind is getting better-I have had
some memory problems the last few years and my memory is
still the same or close but I KNOW that it is not the same as it used
to be!!!I now make lists on my computer[ it only takes a second or
ten-right now I took a few seconds because I was thinking what
to write,and if you dont need it its still there so its there
just in case]-I am calculating what to say,do,what I am
going to eat tonight,am being more caring and thoughtful
with my family,not being caring and thoughtful with
family who dont deserve it and I have NEVER FELT BETTER
in my LIFE
jUST could not wait any longer to tell somebody-I almost
could not wait to write and tell a diabetes forum[I NEED
SOME FEEDBACK PLEASE]
I had to tell someone--this is weird but in A GREAT,GREAT
WAY!
Hope I hear from someone or everyone soon
