As promised in the Fatter Than God thread:
Two years ago this month, I went to the doctor for an umm..
routinecheckup (after nearly 19 years!! -- big mistake). So they ran a rountine blood chemistry and the doctor called me back a couple of days later: 'your blood sugar (glucose) is 275 -- you're a diabetic'
So I became part of a growing statistic -- particularly for North Americans -- an overweight and aging population of slugs. I can't do anyting about the aging part but I can do someting about the weight and exercise. The 'disease' has turned out to be a blessing in disguise -- I'm in the best health now (at 52) that I've been in a long time.
So anyway, the median age for this Cellar cabal seems to be mid-30s and I hope by sharing my experiences that some of you won't end up on the same path.
Future installments will include the 'symptoms' or warning signs that need to be heeded as well as what to do if your doctor rings you up with the bad news someday. And if anyone else has similar experiences or comments please post away!
