Magic numbers

There is this magic number in diabetes, well for me there has been anyway… 85. For six years my fasting blood sugar has never been below the number 85. In fact, most of the time my fasting blood sugar was the highest number I had all day. Today was a different day though, for the first time, since being diagnosed my number was under 85.

This might not seem like a big deal to some people, especially if you don’t know much about diabetes. However, that number means a lot, and it means that things are really starting to work in my body. It even means that I might be approaching “normal”, well at least in the blood sugar area, I’m far from normal in the rest of my life

I was so excited this morning, it felt good to have that number on the blood test screen. It means I keep doing what I’m doing, and I keep working hard. I followed the celebration of the magic number with a really nice work out and then lunch at my favorite spot in Austin .  Every day I am closer and closer to not being considered a diabetic, and today was a glimpse of what normal feels like, and it felt pretty good.

If you are in a bad spot with your health, or headed to one, or heck, you just don’t ever want to get in a bad spot – know that there is hope, and that you have EVERY THING you need to be able to change your life.

I’m going to be doing a month long support kind of group -focusing on plant based health for people who could really need some help around the holidays – just because there is tinsel and fat guys in suits everwhere doesn’t mean you should do massive damage to your body. If you are interested in a support system send me an e-mail or leave a comment, and I’ll get in touch with you. Don’t make January 1st the day you start to take things seriously, take everyday seriously, and start now.
