When I was diagnosed with diabetes almost four years ago my doctor checked my blood, said it was high and told me I am diabetic. He sent me off with no literature, no information, and no encouragement.
My wife had been waiting for me in the car and said I looked like a ghost. I had just been told I have a disease that could end up killing me – of course I looked pale.
I have this sneaky suspicion that I'm not the only one to have that kind of experience with a doctor that has absolutely no bedside manner or compassion for people on a deep level. Sure, doctors are passionate about what they do, but they seem to lack the people skills necessary to assist people emotionally to take on whatever it is they have just been diagnosed with.
Ever since my diagnosis with type-2 diabetes, I have wanted to do something to assist others like me who felt hopeless in their situation. That's what has led me to create this blog. On here you will not find the bad news. There's plenty of information out there in the world to give you the bad news. This site is where you'll find the good news and the information that will move you toward complete control and, if possible, elimination of all symptoms of diabetes.
That is my quest. Others have done it and I'm on my way their too. It can be done and it takes desire, change, and commitment. We all have to find what works for us. My promise to you is to stock this blog full of only the best information out there, both from my own experiences and from others.
Now, get to it.
