Why I'm here

I am here because I have known for awhile that food is my enemy. I found out how much of a war food and I are in when I was in diabetic ketoacidosis, which caused my healthcare providers to realize I am actually a Type 1 diabetic and I have been misdiagnosed for years... Yay... The good news is I know what it is. The bad news is there isn't a cure. The good thing is I can help my numbers and decrease my insulin usage by monitoring my food intake, by making good choices, by sticking strictly to my insulin schedule, and beginning an exercise program. There are some rough days in my new normal. I want to talk things out. I want those who are going through this same ordeal to know you are not alone, and we can conquer anything. My belief is they will find a cure for Type 1 diabetes in my lifetime.

This is my story in a nutshell and I would like you to join me, to join us in being healthier. We are doing what we do best, working on tough issues together. We can help each other by staying accountable and working towards our individual goals and our goal as a couple... To become a healthier we.
