My number are pretty good, it’s just all the things you have to do to get good numbers, And I do mine by diet and excercise, I don’t take medication, I lost about 30 lbs when first diagnosed 12 years ago going on 13 years, I just get fed up with it. It scared the heck out of me when first diagnosed so I got it under control right away.
I miss my mom a lot she was my rock when I got diagnosed. It’s been a few years since she passed I have my moments which is normal. I truely know for me anyway, that losing a mom is very hard, she was my only parent. And we were very close. It just gets lonely without her I could talk to her about everything with out judgment.

Over the past 5 years, I have lost 100 pounds and it never made any difference in my glucose numbers. I was not scared by the diagnosis because, as a fat person, I was always being threatened with it and I know it's totally treatable nowadays. Also, they kept lowering the numbers for diabetes - so while my numbers weren't going up, I was considered closer and closer to being diabetic. Now I'm on meds and everything, and my numbers are all over the place most of the time. I'm just glad I finally got a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) because I can get alarms when my blood glucose drops dangerously low or heads way up.
