Last Thursday I was officially diagnosed with Diabetes. This comes as no
surprise after repeatedly hearing the Lord speak to me saying, "how
sick to you have to get before you do what I'm telling you to
do?"................well, I have my answer.
I was given six
months to lose at least 35 pounds and track my fasting glucose levels
three times a week with results of 120 or lower before being put on
medication. I do not want to be on medication and decided to put this
disease in remission. There is no cure for diabetes.
This past
week has been interesting as well because three days before my diagnosis
I quit drinking diet soda. (I have fallen and have had two regular
servings of the poison). The main reason I quit drinking the diet soda
is that I know it's a neurotoxin and I fear the effects it has on my
daughter, Emily. Little did I know that most of my ails are to be blamed
on Aspartame Poisoning. From the first day I stopped consuming the diet
coke, I stopped having body aches, fatigue and sleepless nights. I have
been in bed before midnight more times in a row than I have in the past
several years. I have slept for 8 hours straight for the first time in
years and I have felt more alert during the day. My need for daily naps
is subsiding more each day and I hope that by taking this garbage out of
our diets, my daughter, husband and I can help lesson our depression.
I
have been eating carefully this past week and checking my blood sugar
to track my results, experimenting with a few 'forbidden' foods just to
see the results. I have been cooking at home (miracle in itself) and at
my first weekly weigh-in at my doctor's office this week I have lost
ELEVEN POUNDS!
What may become of me if my life actually improves-all b/c of the diagnosis of Diabetes? I am anxious to find out!
