The Diabetes Club

[foxx278]

Well, it's official now. I've joined the Diabetes club this month...well, last month technically. See, two weeks ago, I was not feeling up to my best. I was feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and in some cases, I was falling out. Didn't get any better when I had to work the next night. Felt like I was having seizures most of the night because I kept

Geez, man--not the greatest news to hear from you after so long! Well thankfully diabetes isn't a death sentence, and is probably one of the better evils to be stuck with. It's very manageable, and you can still have a perfectly good life =). It was also great timing for the gym!

I hope you've been in otherwise good shape (as far as your previous post goes). I haven't had much time to write my own entries since moving due to things being total chaos since December, but I keep checking back here periodically to see how my last little number of friend have been. I think I'm down to just you and darkwingpsycho, but I get the sense she bailed and went to Facebook o.O. Anyway, though the news essentially sucks, I'm still happy to hear from you.

See you around!

I was wondering what happened to you as I haven't seen anything from you since December. Glad you're still okay. As for me, I'm doing a lot better. I actually managed to get my glucose levels down to respectable numbers. Took me a full month to do it, but with the help of eating right and gym visits, I'm managing quite well. Suffice it to say I had to sacrifice a lot of my favorites, like sweets and pasta for example, but it's all worth it in the long run. At least I don't have to give up all the meat treats I love so much like chicken and fish (though with those two I have to prepare them myself, which isn't bad, all things considering).

By the way, the gym I joined, Planet Fitness, is a totally rad place to go work out in. Cheap, too. I don't know if you go to any gyms at all, but if you don't and you're looking for one to join, I highly recommend checking them out. There's one in your metro area, in Renton I think (I'll have to look it up again...there aren't that many in Washington state).
