Diabetes: One Year Later

God is so faithful. He works miracles EVERY single day. If you haven't tried him.. trust me.. I'll vouch for his works.
A year ago today, I was sitting at my desk at work, like normal.. only I wasn't feeling so normal.
I was tired... literally exhausted, extremley hungry, half blind, and I had a  fasting blood glucose reading of 480, and it was only 9:00. But 3:00 in the afternoon, my blood sugar would be at 570, and I would be rushed to the hospital.
Today was the day, that I found out I was a diabetic. *cue scary music*
A year ago today, I felt like my world was coming unglued. I was unsure, angry, and very scared.
This past year has been a learning experience for me. I've learned that doctor's with all of their degree's dont neccessarily always have your best interest at heart, that a diet is not the end of the world, and most importantly listening to your body and acting before the trouble is the best way to stay OUT of the emergency room.

Today, Diabetes and I are friends. I'm currently off my medication, and I'm able to control my blood glucose with diet and excercise.

I'm a year in, and I feel great. Everyday is work. Somedays I'm great.. I follow my diet plan, and even go walk around my complex. Other days, I'm a heathen. I eat what I want, and could care less about working out. But, everyday, I try. I try by listening to my body, managing my diet, and staying active.
