The Beginning

I’ve decided to set up a weblog, about my experiences and research into diabetes.

I was diagnosed on September 30, 2002

Needless to say, it was a life altering event.

I have been dealing with several other problems prior to the diabetes, many of them, I’m sure attributed:

Sleep Apnea
Restless Leg Syndrome
Gastric Reflux Disease

I’m quite sure there is a major genetic component since my father died of congestive heart failure at 48, and was diagnosed with diabetes before then. Both his parents were also diagnosed with diabetes.

    This is a marvelous tool. I think it will do well for me since I am NOT a diabetic, except when I have steroid induced diabetes from treatments for my asthma. Then, all of a sudden, I feel like I have been put on a rubber raft and pushed out into a river to go tubing, without oars. I learned what to do but it wasn’t easy.
