Voices Of Diabetes

Voices of Diabetes


I just turned 51 years old, and never in my wildest dreams did I think I had diabetes. I wasn't feeling good, and I knew there was something wrong--but, I never thought that I'd have to stick myself twice a day and take pills.

It's hard, because I have no idea what to eat. I mean, me and my hubby are used to eating at eight o'clock at night, but if I do, then my blood sugar (glucose) gets very high. I don't even know what the numbers mean. The doctor just told me I had diabetes and handed me a pamphlet that is useless.

Now, I am scared to death and just worried about what to eat or not to eat. But, I have a wonderful husband, and I know the Lord is with me. If someone could help me understand the numbers, I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks for listening to my story.
