Ive been diagnosed as diabetic. Started with my 3 pregnancy at age 37. Gestational diabetics. It layed low till 2001. Went into what I call remission controlled diet exercise and prayers no meds. 2007 it came back with a vengeance. I'm now on meds and recently I requested that I be placed on insulin for the first time. I'm only on take you iver. My aunt age 74 recently passed. She was in dialysis for a few tears. Diabetes took her. She battled until the end . 10 mg daily. A1c was 7.5. still a little high. I see my doctor in a few months. But this is a daily journey and I'm not quitting. I saw my MIL be taken over by diabetes including her death. She lost a leg. Then on her other foot a toe. She was obese with little support. So I saw first hand what it can do. I have some other health struggles too. High blood pressure so it is a balancing act. I'm not hooked on coke. But chips are my kerptonite. I drink sparkling water and water occasional watered down juice or a lowered version. The high blood pressure taught me years back to stay away from pork in all forms. No pork chops, no pork ribs, sausage, bacon or liver mush even pork rinds. I remember the crackling bread mom made when I was a child. Fond memories but I had to change what I ate. All gone and not missed. I have been blessed not to have any complications from diabetes. I also have asthma from birth. Nearly died twice from an acute asthma attack. First time I was 8 second time I was 35. God gave me another chance and I intend to live it and share what I can. I hope you get this beast (as I call it) managed. Please let the doctors know any symptoms no matter how small .  

10 mg insulin. I'm very pro active in my care. And not afraid to refuse a med that dies not work or can cause cancer etc . 

💙it is so wonderful that you are taking pride in your body! my father's coworker has diabetes and did not feel pain from an infection in his foot. he ended up having the foot amputated and then he lost his job. good health is tied to everything.  

I'm a diabetic in remission. I got out of it by losing weight and by eating lower carb. Not keto or atkins but by counting carbs and keeping them under 100gms of net carbs a day when I can.  

I wish I could eat low carb but with my meds I'd bottom out. I've tried it.
