Well, it was December 2005 when I was found out to have Type II diabetes. I was taking just oral meds. They were working pretty well until this morning. I woke up and my left eye was blurry, my head was splitting and three fingers on my right hand were numb. I knew something was up! I went to work. What could I do? I felt ok for the most part. I got to work. Had taken my sugar levels 3 times before I got to work. 204, 208, 253...........after that last number? I knew I was in trouble.
I went to the nurse at our work and asked if they had any Ketostix (to measure if my body was turning against me......in other words, when your sugar is so high that your body starts to eat your fat cells and muscle cells). Well, guess what? Yep, I had traces of ketones. *Lucky me* not!
Off to the doctor I went. End result? I now take Byetta, along with my oral meds. Will make life interesting, that's for sure. Byetta is like insulin, but not quite insulin. If you want to know more, www.byetta.com.
I'm ok. Just needed some more help. So, wherever I go, wherever I eat, yeah, you'll see me pull out my pen and stick myself. I'm already over that fact, hopefully everyone around me will be too. :o)
It's really crappy to be a diabetic, but at least I'm alive and there are treatments for me!!! I say AMEN to that. Thank you Lord!!!!!
