I was officially diagnosed a type 2 diabetic on February 21. I was put on 100mg Januvia and told to start exercising and watch what you eat. I have managed to get my sugar levels from fasting upper 300 to lower 100 to 130. I have managed to eat pretty normally and loose about 15 lbs. I participated in the Iron Girl 5K and completed in 54 minutes with a huge bridge to walk across. Needless to say, most of my family has said this is the best thing to happen to me.

Please tell us more about the Iron Girl 5K. I haven't heard of it?

Some say that Pain's function is to protect us when we forget to pay attention... maybe diabetes is trying to protect us so we will pay attention...

look forward to hearing more from you... hugs, Jocelyn
