Some of you may know already, but recently I was diagnosed with being pre-diabetic. I was feeling really bad for quite a while and finally went to the doctor and gave him my symptoms. They took extensive tests and found out my high blood sugar levels were the culprit. I have had to switch my eating habits 180° and now I feel 1000 times better. (and look pretty good too). Betty said that I looked 10+ years younger and boy do I feel it. I have even been riding our recumbent bike for a little exercise too. I have gone from 153 to 129 now and have dropped 4 sizes (12 to 5). Who would have thought minimizing your sugar and flour intake could make such a difference? I guess my body craved the foods that hurt me the most. My body just doesn't know what to do with it. I have found myself eating mostly veggies, fruit, fish/seafood, nuts and grilled chicken. I love to snack on guacamole too.
I finally went back to my doctor last week and had my blood work re-done. I have lower blood sugar now, cholesterol looks great, no anemia, no headaches, no acid reflux, and lots of energy.
If anyone wants the miracle diet, just ask.

wow jess, this is awesome! i'm impressed with all the modifications you've made in daily life to tackle your problem head on. very impressive and motivational!
Thanks Ang! It's been pretty hard sometimes, but I keep remembering that I need to do this for myself (Jeff and Logan too) and it's great that I feel so much healthier too. There are a lot of people out there that find out they have diabetes and don't get to make the changes in time like me. In a little way, I have to do it for them too! :)
