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.
I am not a doctor; I do not provide medical advice; 
Information is provided for educational purposes solely
and is not intended to supplant professional medical
counsel. It is imperative to consult with qualified
healthcare providers prior to commencing any 
novel treatment regimen or altering your healthcare
routine. 
 
Always follow the advice and guidelines of your 
medical team according to your Jurisdiction and educate
yourself.
This is my journey and my relationship with diabetes. 
Here is a July 2025 Update!
 
Remember to stay Positive, learn about your condition,
and follow guidance from your doctor.
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.
