Diabetes

For several years, I would semi-joke that I was an undiagnosed diabetic.  After my trip to the burn ward, I am now a diagnosed diabetic.  The good news is that with a low-carb diet, weight loss, exercise and oral Metformin, I would not have to monitor blood sugar and use insulin for years.

Exercise has been put on hold for weeks while healing my graft.  I have started my new low-carb way of life and taking Metformin at a beginning dosage.

I am grateful to have this window of opportunity to avoid becoming an insulin dependent diabetic.
