I am a Type 2 Diabetic.

I was diagnosed in December 2022.

Since being diagnosed I have made a lot of life 

style changes with the goal of being off my 

diabetes medication.

In November 2023 I achieved that goal. 

In April 2025 my doctor recommended I stop using a 

Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor - CGM to monitor 

my blood glucose levels.

I have a positive mindset that owns my diagnosis and 

response to it.

This is my journey and my relationship with diabetes. 

Here is a June 2025 Update!

Everyone's response to their diagnosis and condition

is different. 

Diabetes does not go away. Once a diabetic, always 

a diabetic.

Respect and learn from your body, learn about your 

condition, and your medical team. 

Make no changes without their guidance, support,

and help.
