Just Found Out Topic


I was diagnosed the Wed before Thanksgiving. (Nov 27, 2013) Fasting sugar was 234 and A1C was 10.5. I am 70 lbs over weight. Went to the dr because of stomach and swallowing issues. Following up on those but Dr suspects a candida over growth due to the high sugar levels.
Now that I have calmed down, I am starting the long journey to optimum health. Eating healthy, exercising daily and testing 4x a day. Metformin is working, glucose levels are coming down. This is the easy part, I am really motivated to improve. Hoping I can sustain the motivation.
Since writing helps me process, I am planning to blog about my journey.


I think being motivated is the most important part - just start working to improve and don't stop.

I found out last year in November, and ironically it turned out to be a good thing really, as I'm now in the best shape physically that I've ever been. It's a long, slow process, but don't give up, just keep going!
