I FOUND OUT ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO THAT I ALSO HAD DIABETES ALONG WITH MY MOTHER AND FATHER WHO HAS KIDNEY FAILURE AND HAS TO GO TO DIALYSIS 3 DAYS A WEEK. WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH, AND UNTIL RECENTLY I WASN'T TAKING BEING A DIABETIC SERIOUS ENOUGH. I STARTED GETTING SICK . I ENDED LOSING MY JOB, BECAUSE I WASN'T TAKING CARE OF MYSELF. I HAD AN EPISODE WHERE I HAD TO BE RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF MY SUGARS BEING SO HIGH I HAD LOST MOBILITY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY, I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A WEEK WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET MY BLOOD SUGARS LOWERED, THAT'S WHEN THE DOCTOR DECIDED THAT THE PILLS WERE NOT ENOUGH AND PUT ME ON INSULIN. NOW I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THAT I'M TAKING LIFE MORE SERIOUS NOW. I'M EATING RIGHT, AND EXERCISING, AND TAKING MY MEDS RIGHT, CHECKING MY BLOOD SUGARS WITH MY GLUCOMETER, AND I'M GOOD NOW. I HAVE TWO TEENAGE BOYS THAT NEED THEIR MOM AROUND, AND I WANT TO BE AROUND ALOT LONGER THAN AGE 40.
