If I could turn back time

Hi.  My name is Leah and I am a diabetic.  Type II.  Let me start this out by saying if you've ever been warned about "syndrome X" or "prediabetes"  . . . HEED THE WARNINGS!!  I didn't and here I am.  I was gestationally diabetic with my 2nd child back in 2000.  The doctors warned me that I now had an increased chance of becoming diabetic later in life if I didn't change my eating habits and my lack of exercise.    If I could turn back time . . .

I was just put on an insulin regimen two weeks ago.  I am so tired of this already and struggle some days with remembering everything I have to do before I can eat.  I am sure, unfortunately, at some point it will become a habit.  My goal is to get my self back under control before it's had too much of a chance to be the norm.

I'm sure I will have some ups and downs along the way and I learned years ago when my Dad was sick that writing is a good outlet for me.  So, with this recent bump in my life I decided it was time to write again.  

Join me on my journey if you'd like . . . through the tears, laughter, depression, insanity . . . .
