Diabetes

In January of 2010, I was hospitalized with extreme fatigue, lack of appetite, excessive thirst, and extreme night sweats. All this was brought on by the onset of diabetes. I spent many sleepless nights unsure of what was going on with my body. I tried to self-medicate by using various OTC treatments to no avail. I began to feel as though my life was spiraling out downward and out of control. I thought I knew about diabetes but I soon learned that I was wrong. Though several family members suffered from this, I never thought it would happen to me. I finally went to my physician who checked my blood sugar which turned out to be almost 400 and my A1C was 15.6 which was off the charts!!! He immediately hospitalized me. Since that diagnosis, I have struggled to find resources that I could clearly understand. It is my goal, through this site, to help other women who find themselves in a similar situation.
