I was mistakenly diagnosed with gestational diabetes in 2006 while pregnant with my first child. Soon afterwards, it became clear that I had type 2. I have let my diabetes go unchecked since 2009. I decided last week that I need to get serious about this disease. After watching my mother ( diabetic for 40+ years) pass away last year from complications from diabetes, watching her health decline for a long time, it really hit home that I do not want to suffer as she did. I have... made an appointment with my doctor for Wednesday to get the medication I need. For 4 days now, I have cut out sweets, checked my sugar regularly, and drank more water. I am so glad I found this group, because it's really hard for me to stick to my goals and watch what I eat. I am very proud of my progress these last few days, and really could use all the support I can get to continue this journey!
