Friends...I urge all of you to eat to your meter. Do not put it off and tell yourself "I will start tomorrow" I used that vary statement for almost 5 years after I found out I was diabetic. Although I have been taking better care of myself for the past 4 months, the damage it caused by not doing so sooner is showing its ugly face.
I have been dealing with diverticulitis the past two weeks that is taking longer to recover from because I ignored that too for two months. I am dealing with a couple other health issues along with it. All these problems are taking longer to heal and deal with due to my sugars being too high for too long.
The Admis to this group may seem a little strict at times but it is only because they have witnessed what this awful disease can do to our bodies.
When I first joined this group I would get so aggravated because they deleted post where people were talking about cheating on their diet or showing pics of food that we all know we shouldn't be eating. I would think to myself...geez, we are only human!!
I no longer get aggravated with the admis deleting such post, it now breaks my heart seeing others being as stubborn as I was. My attitude was..."I am grown, no one is gonna tell me what I can or cannot do!" That is a load of crap because eventually our bodies are gonna do just that!!! I cannot cheat on my diet because one day leads to two and so on, and before I know it a month has went by and I'm asking myself, " how in the hell did I end up here again?" It is not worth it. I encourage all fellow diabetics to stop using excuses....starting tomorrow is not good enough, you must start now!
Sorry for the long post, I think I mainly wrote it because I needed to see it and hear it for myself.
Thank you to all the Admis for the time and energy you put into this page. Some of us may be stubborn and resistant to change, but you never know when the seed has been planted. Thanks for listening!
