Wake Up Call

I have just gone through a drug screen and physical for a new job. Why am I telling you this? They found glucose in my urine...so it seems I have diabetes! Considering that I never had it before my pregnancies and there is no history in my family, I am thinking that if I can get my s$&% together, I can eradicate it. A few years ago I was refused life insurance because my glucose levels were in the pre-diabetic range and my doctor told me that losing about 15lbs would fix that. I am hoping that this will be the same case. I still have to have an official follow-up with my family doctor, but I am gonna have to start making changes immediately. Time to really make good eating choices and get the exercise routine started. Now it's a bit more serious as I really don't want any complications from having diabetes. Can you say "Wake Up Call"?! It starts this week...I'm going to take advantage of the fact that I have some time off between jobs and start getting a routine going. One change at a time...
