I oddly think it is a kick in the butt I needed. I don't think I would be changing my habits otherwise and who knows what else would have have happened later on. Beats a major heart attack.At least that's what I'm telling myself.
My dad guessed it too. The past few weeks he went 'your showing signs of diabetes get him to test you for it' I was like yeah sure whatever. *headdesk* It runs on my dad's side. It helped kill my grandpa because he wouldn't change his ways. My dad constantly tells me I'm like his father. Your icon couldn't be more true :). I always give myself a day to breakdown. When I was informed about my heart condition, then the PCOS , and so on. I have to be the strong one for my mom.Always have been since I was a kid.
Vanessa Marcil icon! Gosh I really am easily distracted XD I took my first test a half hour ago. I was still shocked to see the numbers.Like I thought it would disprove it. It really hit me like S*** I have diabetes.It's one thing to be told but actually see the high numbers. It will get me eating better so there is some good from it.
Been a Vanessa fan since 1993. General Hospital's Brenda. Brenda & Sonny then Brenda & Jax .The good old days.I want her hair! Body would be nice too. I have so many girl crushes.She was one of the first.
My goal is try to not end up like my grandfather because I see the pain in my father's eyes knowing his dad gave up and didn't fight the diabetes, didn't fight for his wife & son. It was just a sudden shock to me when only a few days ago I was told about the gallstones.I'm like what next?!

Totally get that, sometimes a good cry is just what you need.

Dude. And YEAH, that's good way to look at it, not that you have diabetes, but that you are making healthy changes in your life because of it.

It's ok to feel distressed about such a big revelation and I'm sure that you will be able to handle this and take care of yourself well. <3
