The Beginning

Okay, So I am making this blog to help keep me motivated and honest on my way to reversing my type 2 diabetes through diet and exercise.

Here is a bit of the journey so far.

I was Diagnosed 2 years ago April 28. I remember the date because on my birthday that year, April 21, I was losing my sight, thirsty, nothing I drank quenched that thirst, and just feeling like total shit.  

I finally went to the Dr and my Blood Glucose level was 20. If you don’t know much about BG, a normal range is 4-5 before eating and 7-8 after 2 hours of eating.

After a slew of medication that had to many side effects for me, I decided that insulin would be the best thing for me. I take Nova Rapid and Levemir, up to 5 times a day I am injecting.

I have already lost about 50Ib. I weigh 206Ib as of this morning; I have been at 206Ib for a few weeks now. I know that I need to add is exercise into my regiment, but getting over this mental block is really hard!

I bought an elliptical of Kijiji.com a few months ago and I have been on it only a handful of times. I really want to do 30mins 3 times a week, and some strength training the other days.

I downloaded a few Apps that I hope will help me out. Glucose buddy for logging my blood glucose, and Fitness Pal for my calorie counting.

We will see how tomorrow will go.
