I thought that I might be prone to developing type 2 diabetes.
My mother and grandmother both had diabetes, which turned into type 2 during pregnancy. After 44, my symptoms started. I was required to rise every hour to use the bathroom. I was a manager in an organization that worked between 40 and 60 hours per week.
I was suffering from these symptoms for four months. It became so serious that I was tired and felt very unhappy. This led me to the doctor.
My doctor conducted an exam of my physical, checked my blood pressure and weight, and did an A1c test of my blood sugar. My A1c score was 12 percent which is significantly more than normal. My doctor informed me that "if you continue to go down this road, you're doing much damage." It is time to get fit and change your life.
Apart from working too much I was already health conscious. My diet and fitness regimen was the only thing I was focused on in my first three months of treatment. My doctor asked me to keep a journal of my food intake so he could monitor my improvement and make any needed adjustments. I also received a directive to increase my exercise. After three months my more info A1c dropped from to 10% from 12 percent.
Keep an eye out for more information about my experience and the questions I asked, and the tools that helped me manage Type 2 Diabetes.
