My very first post

Seems like forever, but it it was only March 2005 that I was diagnosed with type II Diabetes. I won't deny that I was depressed at the beginning. I think I suspected something, but I think I was in denial. It's taken a little getting used to but I want to be around for my faily, so I have done everything the doctor has told me to do. Actually, I might have taken it a little overboard because I;ve had a few instances when my blood sugar has gotten so low - that it didn't read on my monitor. Losing weight has not been as easy, even though I have lost some. I seem to be losing inches. I try to walk everyday, but sometimes the heat makes it a little hard.

I guess the main reason I wanted to start this blog is so that I could post some of my ups & downs and hopefully someone can be helped. I am limited in my knowledge, but I'm contantly trying to learn.
