For myself, I needed a compelling reason to do what's necessary.

About 30 years ago, Both my parents passed way too young from diabetic complications and comorbidities. It was heart wrenching for years.

I do not want to put my family through the pain and suffering I went through. I also want to live a great life, full of travel, adventures, and fun.

I choose to control my diabetes journey and won't let diabetes control me. Make your choices, it's up to you. Baby steps. I can do baby steps.

Medications can help, but cut the sugars and carbs to aid your success.

I wish for you more good days than bad and have many exceptional days too. Enjoy your life on your terms. Rejoice in both the good times and the not so good. Fight the good fight. Be the warrior you never knew you were. You got this.

Never give up, never surrender, never ever.
Have a blessed day.

It is hard. My advice is to not radically change overnight as it shocks your body. Also I lost a parent to diabetes. I went to a diabetic nutrition class. Check with your doctor about one in your area. Usually the hospital. So I just started slowly and lessened carbs and sodas a little at a time for a month. After that just maintained. I still slip. My a1c is stuck on high from steroids. Also move if possible. Start with two blocks and go from there! Good luck sweety

Thank you so much for the support and advice, I so need friends that understand and are in the trenches with me. Bless you! Have a good day.
