Okay so the verdict is in. You have been officially diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. You may be in your late thirties to your mid 50′s, other wise healthy, family, good job, all that stuff. What do you do?

Let me take a little step back. The most essential thing in this age bracket is early diagnosis. You can’t or won’t do anything if you don’t know when it comes to it-that’s where you start. But once you find out then what?

This is where, I think, a lot of folks, my self specially included, make a HUGE MISTAKE. They underestimate, thru ignorance or whatsoever the reason, the danger this sickness poses. This is share of the insidiousness of the sickness it sneaks up on you and doesn’t seem threatening.

So you are benefitting weight and your cholesterol and blood pressure are on the rise-big deal. Isn’t that what happens when you get older? Most just don’t give Diabetes the attention at the onset it deserves.

I do not forget my doc (may he rest in pieces) when he told me. It was like no huge deal. And so for me that only reinforced my preference to make no change in my modus vivendi BIG MISTAKE #2.

After you are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes you may go down one of two roads. The original road-the one I took-is to do nothing. And because at the time it doesn’t seem so threatening it seems like that is okay. I am here to tell you it isn’t okay.

The second road which involves having a doc who knows what he’s talking about. After ‘shopping’ for a doc, I found one who had a diabetic child-bingo he’s my guy. Maybe more on the ‘shopping’ piece in a future article.

Once you find the right doc your next step is to become a “control freak.” It is only thru control that a good to even great quality of life may be achieved with the disease.

Don’t forget to leave me feedback. I welcome your comments.
