I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on 8/11/08. I have a family history of it and I am overweight. This is my blog to share my struggles and triumphs as I undertake this journey. This is my place to talk about what I am thinking, feeling, and dealing with. I am not ready to share this information with many people yet because I don’t want pity or people to think that I brought this on myself. I don’t want to be judged. I just want to get healthier and I want to be able to approach this with as much positive energy as possible. So, if you are reading this, welcome to my journey.
