A1C and blood sugar levels mean nothing to people who aren't diabetics. Two years ago those terms were as insignificant to me as all the other information I read in my bio text book. They were conditions that were used for diagnosis, not conditions to explain my own life.
I used to have dreams about mhy teeth falling out. Every morning I would wake up, believing that maybe it was a dream. Maybe I could eat whatever I want and my body would digest and process it like normal. But it wasn't a dream. I was and am diabetic. I was at war. My body was at war and my favorite foods, my very lifestyle was and is the enemy.
When I was first diagnosed, I searched for a solution. I was sure that my master's degree in Biology could provide me with the research mind necessary to beat this disease. And I did. I found out how to beat it naturally. Unfortunately, it isn't the knowledge I need, but the willpower. I have spent a lot of time researching natural ways to keep my blood levels down. It's a lot of work and its better than craving to insulin, a drug in and of itself that worsens the condition of diabetes, but more on that later.
This site is designed to help me through this transition. I am transitioning from foods I love to food I've always hated. I'm supposed to cut out candy, carbohydrates, and fast food. On the same day I found out I was diabetic I found out I suffered from high cholestrol too. Yeah, my genetics sucks. My sister got the good genes and I got the gentic toilet bowl. Anyway, this site is my step by step path back to health. It's my motivation to stay on the course and hopefully, to motivate you to claim your health too. I'll tell you all that I've learned and hopefully we'll reach health together.
