I'm sad that I allowed myself to get this horrible disease. My poor eating habits and extra weight played it's part along with the strong genetics. I was predisposed to this disease through my genetics and how I gained weight, it was all in my midsection. I was overweight but not obese. I barely had an unhealthy BMI, a few pounds between normal and overweight. The sad reality is my siblings who are bigger than me DO NOT HAVE DIABETES. Or they don't have it yet. Until I was in my 20s I was severely underweight. I weighed 140 when I injured my back. Took steroids and epidural injections in my spine. My sedentary lifestyle after surgery got me here and having 5 fast-food restaurants within walking distance.
My life today is denying myself all sugar and limiting carbs. Starchy foods is very limited. I do cave with an occasional French Fry or a carbohydrates feast. I'm not perfect. My glucose is normally 111-120 when I wake up, not 170 anymore. I'm still putting up a good fight, I know now it took me 42 years to fuck up. I can't fix this overnight.
