I want to share a bit of my story today and how I learned that I have Type 2 diabetes. It was a bit shocking and scary but this is what happened. I went to bed one night just as I always do. When I woke the next morning I woke up and basically I was blind. Not the black-out kind of blind but the kind that everything and I mean EVERYTHING was extremely blurry.
I thought maybe my eyes were just not focusing yet and I just needed time to wake up. But, my vision did not improve. I was a bit nervous to drive to work that day because of my poor vision but decided that because I travel the same route everyday and I know the street signs well that I would just be careful. I really had no business driving and I don't think I would have made it if I hadn't driven that same route over and over each day.
By noon I still could not see so I made an appointment with the doctor and I had suspected that I might be diabetic since my Grandfather and my Uncle both have diabetes. Knowing this, I fasted for 12 hours before my appointment and upon arriving at the doctors office he tested my blood sugar level. It was 191 after fasting for 12 hours, not good! I was informed I have Type 2 diabetes and that I needed to make some life changes.
More of my story and lots of other things later but for now.. "I must walk." ~KG~
