Six month mark

Six months ago today, on Friday October 13, 2006, I was diagnosed with diabetes. Since then I've lost 40 pounds and gotten my blood sugar under control, although I still need to take insulin.

I lost 30 pounds in a few months without even realizing it back in 2000, which was even more impressive. ;) Although, looking back, that was probably the diabetes starting to take hold...I simply stopped absorbing all the energy in the food I was eating, but the minimal exercise I was getting due to getting ready to move was enough to mean I burned fat rather than feeling hungry.
