My Story

February 6 2024 was the day everything changed.

I always thought there was a chance I would get it. It runs in the family, my dad died at 46. He had type 2. I'm pretty much a poster child for it. Overweight, don't get much exercise.

But hey, I still eat ok.....there was that one day I had a salad! 

 Apparently it does not work like this....my dad would eat 2 big macs and then suck back a large diet coke saying they canceled each other out!

NOT THE EDUCATION I NEEDED!
