Diabetes Saved My Life...

So my mom asked me when I went to the doctor what he said. I told her that he didn't say much, he really didn't need to. Have you ever looked in someone's eyes and without them saying a word you knew exactly what they were saying? Well, that's kind of what happened to me when the doctor and I were talking about my type 2 diabetes. I looked in his eyes and he was kind enough to not say anything but, I knew what he was telling me.
 
I knew that if I didn't get something done and start making changes in my life I was going to soon be dead. So really diabetes has saved my life. What I mean is, I don't know that I would have started eating better or started walking and exercising the way that I am now. It has really given me something to work for .... Life. It really has given me a new life focus and a path and journey to follow through with. Diabetes I think has helped to save my life. I know this may seem weird but I like to find positives in adverse situations. There is a reason for this and I WILL answer the call. :))
 
I can't urge anyone who has this disease enough to just get out and start walking. Ok, enough with the sad stuff; I'm going for a walk and next time I will talk about what I am doing and what has been working for me in the 2 months since my diagnoses. Maybe it will be useful, helpful, inspiring, uplifting and hopefully funny for someone else. Until then.... Keep Moving and don't stop! ~KG~
