Well, I am turning 30 this year. I think it's about time for things to change. I have struggled with my weight for almost my whole life, and I want to do something about it. I was diagnosed with diabetes on 09/09/2007.. and that was the kick I needed. My A1c at the time of diagnosis was 13.4.. an average blood sugar of about 350+. In 4 months, I have changed my entire lifestyle.. and my A1c is now 6.9. That is not perfect, but I am motivated to keep improving. My doctor recently suggested weight loss surgery.. I was like.. "WHAT? ME? I am losing weight on my own!" Well, she was just looking out for me and asked me to look into things and do my own research. When I found out more about things.. well, needless to say.. I have almost 100% decided that some sort of surgery is for me. I went to the first surgical orientation at MMPC today.. and I can't wait to see what the future holds for me now.
