Opus 2012-199, Healthy Insights: A Word of Hope for Diabetics, Part 3 of 3

Currently my A1c is 5.  My fasting glucose ranges from 85 to 103.  My blood pressure was 120/65.  All my numbers are good.  This is the danger time.

Am I cured?  No.  I never will be.  This is a lifestyle change.  I think of it like being an alcoholic.  I may be in control but I will always be a diabetic.  Will things change?  Maybe.  Our bodies get older, things wear out.  But for now I am healthier than I was ten years ago.  The charts still say I am overweight so don’t pay too much attention to them.  Everyone thinks I am skinny.  Believe it or not, my wife is now nagging be that I should eat more.  I am in not danger of becoming anorexic.  I am still around 215 pounds at 6'3".  I can maintain that.  I am still eating 2,500 calories a day.  I can live with that.  God willing, I will remain in control.

It might not work for you.  I understand that.  Don’t feel guilt if you are doing everything right and it isn’t working for you.  But please, if you have never given weight loss a serious try, check it out.  It has worked for me.  I can only hope that you might also be one of that undiscovered 5%.

To be continued in life, if not on this blog.
