First Posting....

While I have known that I have had diabetes for a couple months, I am just now coming out of my Diabetic Denial.  That may sound lame, but I was given a bottle of pills with no information.  I really had no energy to even to figure out what to change to make it to where perhaps the diabetes didn't control me.  I just thought ok, I will take these pills and then I'll feel better.  Well fast forward from October when I found out to this week when I went to a new doctor and its like my eyes have been opened.  I have suspected that my blood sugars are fairly high because I am fatigued all the time.  Like literally at some moments its like someone has unplugged me and I just can't get myself going again.  I went into this Dr being naive and thought I'll ask for a Glucose Meter and I will prove that my sugars were fine.  Well shock of all shocks my first reading was around 300.  :(  So, now its time to stop hiding under this rock and take the bull by the horns.  I am going to start reading and researching this thing and get myself healthier, for me and for my family.  I HAVE to.  I am tired of feeling this way, I am tired of being overweight.  So... this is my beginning entry in a blog I hope to have chopped full of recipes and whatever I come across.
