Newly diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes! I went in to the doctors on Monday, March 25th for a whole other issue and turns out my symptoms were because I have Diabetes!
What is up with that???
Ok, ok........first off I have to confess.....I have a major sweet tooth and a deep love for all things potato!! But I know that isn't all that diabetes is about. My parents have been diabetic for quite a while now and my sister was diagnosed a little bit ago. Now I am added to the family history.
I have to admit.....I am shocked but then at the same feel like I shouldn't be so shocked. It's hard to put into words. I can say that I am a bit upset with myself. Although I haven't put on any extra weight, my eating habits haven't been the greatest lately. I am of course a statistic to the eating later than I should due to work schedule and a busy lifestyle, which of course brings on stress and feeling overwhelmed a lot and then the obvious result of eating out due to all that. But now that I have been diagnosed.........I need to through all those excuses out the window. Because that is what they are.....excuses!
After I sat sulking for an evening and scarfed a 3 Muskateers bar (I know I shouldn't have and yes I 'scarfed' it), I at that point became determined. That was it! My last candy bar and now it's time to get serious.
So here I am, learning how to manage my sugar levels and what to eat and what not to eat. Know that during this time I am putting full faith and trust in God. God is the one who will give me the strength in this journey. I am praying for healing.......and would appreciate your prayers as well. I plan to stand on God's Word and trust in His promises. Seeking His wisdom the whole entire time!
So until my follow-up appointment on Monday........let's all stand and trust in God for all our needs!
God's blessings!
