I am a Type 2 Diabetic.
I was diagnosed in December 2022.
Since being diagnosed I have made a lot of life style changes with the goal of being off my diabetes medication.
In November 2023 I achieved that goal.
In April 2025 my doctor recommended I stop using a Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor – CGM to monitor my blood glucose levels.
I have a positive mindset that owns my diagnosis and response to it.
This is my journey and my relationship with diabetes.
Here is a June 2025 Update!
Everyone’s response to their diagnosis and condition is different.
Diabetes does not go away. Once a diabetic, always a diabetic.
Respect and learn from your body, learn about your condition, and your medical team.
Make no changes without their guidance, support, and help.
