Hey, family!  OMG!  I received a T2 diabetes gift from Santa for Christmas 2018!  Here’s my story....  I was working very hard Oct - Dec. and was trying to lose weight by taking Apple Cider vinegar.  I noticed some weight loss and began drinking water by the gallon.  I let things go for a few weeks then really began to lose weight; about 20 lbs over 2 months.  My clothes were almost hanging off.  When I went home for Christmas, my family noticed the weight loss.  I became concerned, but had an idea of what was going on.  My mother, sister and brother are diabetic.  I asked my mom to check my glucose level and it was 384 that night, 12/21/18.  She was shocked, as was I.  I checked it the next morning - after fasting - and it was 280.  Still waaaaayyyuu too high.  I then noticed that is could see text messages, but could see things far away.  All of this just ruined my Christmas, which is my favorite holiday of the year.  I immediately scheduled an appt to see my doctor after returning home from the holidays.  He confirmed that had Diabetes 2.  He prescribed Metformin and Actos, exercise, diet and a reduction in work. He advised that mine is 100% reversible and that type 2 is reversible in most cases if we stick to plan.  By sticking to plan, my glucose level went from 280 to 130 in 2 weeks.  I bought a $400 pair of glasses and never had to wear them.  My biggest issue is having to cope with a smaller body frame (from 265lbs to 240lbs).  I am used to being the strapping muscular type, but still look good!  Anyone having an issue keeping weight on?  I have to say that this is the best I have felt in years!!!!!!
