The diagnosis scared me, I found out because my eyesight went blurry my blood sugar was 550, but the hospital had classes and my insurance company had retired nurses and dieticians to help, learned about carbs and walking. My a1c was10.3 now its 7.1 and because of changing eating and walking, I'm down from 247 lbs to 217. I'm feeling better, before diabetes I didn't take my health seriously, now I do, I'm not overly picky but I just watch my carbs, If i want dessert, then I don't eat bread. With the help of diet drinks and cranberry juice made with splenda, I'm finding things easier than I expected.

I agree with you. My diagnosis back in August was probably a blessing to me as well. It made me address my weight issues and exercise. My weight can cause a lot more than diabetes, and I have come to terms with that now. Each day is a new day, and I try to face each one with the attitude that good choices are going to make my life better. Good luck to you! God Bless.

I know what you mean by "blessing." I was sick for so long before I was diagnosed. When I finally figured out what was wrong with me and got treatment I realized how blessed I was to have figured out what was going on with me. So happy to hear that you are doing well with your diabetes. Keep up the good work.
