Treatment
Well here I am...as so many people have been before. I was diagnosed a few years ago with Type 2 diabetes and the only time I have taken my diagnosis seriously was when I became pregnant, for the safety of my son. As a mommy it is easy to disregard any health issues I have for my children. I was diagnosed and although I went through a long series of tests and medications in the beginning, after we adopted our oldest, my doctors appointments that I had gone to religiously, went canceled or rescheduled to only be canceled again. Then when I got pregnant I HAD to get serious about it and take care of myself. I almost lost my son and was on bed rest for a lack of blood sugar control, but we made it through and my youngest is happy and healthy.
So here I am. I have let my diabetes go for too long. I am no longer ashamed to say "I need help" and it's not selfish of me to say "I am going to focus on my health, NOW" I have to. I have come up with excuses and let my self go for too long. SO it starts today. Sunday the 118th of July. A fresh start to making a change in my life and ensuring that the change happens in the lives of my children, too. My husband is a Type 2 diabetic as well and doesn't take care of himself either. So I am hoping the changes I make to my life will make it easier to make the same changes in his life as well.
Here is to a new day and better health.
