Diabetes is kicking ny butt

The diabetes is really doing a number on me. Although my sugar has been under control for some time, it has done its damage.

My kidneys have been compromised, and I had kidney insufficiency. It has now turned into renal failure and I'm on dialysis. While in the hospital, very high blood pressure was diagnosed, and while trying to lower it, I had a stroke.

All because of the damage done by diabetes. This disease works slowly, but is devastating.

Keep your sugar under control, not by using a bunch of substitutes and artificial junk, but by eating fresh foods. That 5 servings of fruits and vegetables is a good start. And that doesn't mean 5 servings of potatoes.

  2. Just discovered your blog and I am enjoying this. I'm sorry for all you have gone thru. I was diagnosed a few years ago but still haven't figured the whole thing out, so I appreciate the education here. My dr just put me on another med to lower my blood sugar and it's gone much lower than what I'm used to and I hate, hate, hate that feeling and I'm realized this disease is affecting me more than I thought it would.i
