I lost my son
Marcus Howard on 10/19/98. He was 35 years old and had been a brittle juvenile
diabetic since age 1-1/2 years.
We thought we did
everything necessary to save his life. The physicians had indicated that he
would not see his 20th birthday. However, he lived to be 35 years old.
The three of us
(Dad, Marc, and me) followed the diabetic diet for all of those years; however,
the disease won at the end.
This message is
for all of you out there who have become diabetics as a young, middle-aged, or
older individual. EXERCISE AND A GOOD DIET WILL HELP this horrible disease. I
was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on 7/25/05, and I am managing/controlling it
with exercise and a good diet.
Good luck, and
listen to your physician and your own heart - become acquainted with your body
and your system's reaction. Start now and you will not regret it.
Thanks.
