Finally

I'm finally seeing consistent glucose levels with the help of diet and Metaforim. It's mind-blowing to actually see the numbers start to go down after weeks of struggling. It has been a long 5 1/2 weeks and 4 weeks since diagnosis. I regret foolishly ignoring the symptoms over a year ago and pray I did not permanently damage my organs during the year of hyperglycemia. A year! The experts say a blood glucose above 140 start the damage for every hour it's above 140.  It was elevated since April 2012 and I'm just seeing a healthy glucose level now.

I'm glad I decided to seek help last month. To be honest had my meter not flashed 454 that day I would still be an untreated and undiagnosed diabetic. I would of still watched my diet and tested occassionly but I would not of sought medical help. Perhaps the 454 was the final wake up call my diet and the Type 2 diabetes was killing me.

Even though my numbers are healthier I will still need to pay attention to the food going into my body and further weightloss to stay in control of the glucose in my body. I still don't have adequate insulin to use the glucose so one slip up with my diet can send me spinning out of control. I know this and I also know it will be with me the rest of my life.

But I've got hope now since it's more in control. Hope I can continue to control a diagnosis I didn't want in the first place. Hope I will live longer because it is in control. Hope I can remain on an oral medicine and not end up on insulin. I have hope....
