Living with Diabetes

I have had diabeties for about 20 years and I am 59 years old. I took 2 shots of insulin a day plus oral medicationup until 3 years ago. My sugar was never under control and I didn’t pay much attention to my diet or exercise. I ended up having my big toe anputated and part of my second toe about 3 years ago. I was sent to a diabetic specialist and he start me on a strict reginment of exercise and diet. I lost 70 lbs., walk 6 miles per day and take nothing at all for diabetes for over 2 years now. I feel great and look like I am no more than 40 years old so I am told. I strive for the doctor every 3 months when I go for a checkup to give me a grade of A+. I love myself now and I can love my husband and children as well. I’m not saying it will all be perfect for ever, but this is a miracle story. You just have to be willing to try harder.
