It seems like one day I woke up and type 2 diabetes was detected in my body. I had no clue for how long I have had this disease. All I knew was I was going to the toilet to urinate more often but I only associated it with getting older, due to enlarging prostate as a male. I always tired and my body aching, which I assumed was due to age again. Even though I was never obese, I never got curious when my weight started to decrease without a change in my diet. The interesting fact was, my diet increased, I was almost always hungry, I ate whatever I wanted and whenever I wanted but my weight went down from 185 to 155 lbs in just six months. These were all symptoms of diabetes (Seibel, 2009), especially weight loss and I did not know.
This weight loss occurred because my body refused to use my blood glucose for energy and thus my body fat burnt trying to make up for that energy. I was always feeling weak and fatigued. And I often felt my vision blurry (Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, 2012).
This was my first day as a diabetic and I did not like it. My brother took me to a 20 minute walk with him that day and instructed me to take a walk every morning and slowly increase my time. I would also have to adjust my eating habits and my diet would certainly not contain steaks or beer. It was going to be really hard breaking old habits. But I was hopeful that all these efforts would bring my sugar level down and I won’t have to resort to insulin. I knew I will be doing whatever it took to keep my sugar level low as any negligence could affect my eyesight (referred to as retinopathy in medical terms). A brochure from an MD Seibel (2009) mentioned that it can also lead to kidney, heart and blood vessel disease and I was too scared to even think about going there.
这似乎是有一天我醒来的时候，2型糖尿病中检测到我的身体。我根本不知道多久，我有过这样的疾病。我只知道我要上厕所更频繁地小便，但我年纪越来越大，由于扩大前列腺作为男性。我总是很疲倦，我的身体疼痛，我以为是由于年龄。虽然我从来没有肥胖的，我从来没有好奇，当我的体重开始减少，而不改变我的饮食习惯。一个有趣的事实是，我的饮食增加，我几乎总是饿了，我吃了什么，我想，只要我想，但在短短半年内我的体重就从185下降到155磅。这些都是糖尿病的症状（塞贝尔2009年），特别是减肥，我不知道。
发生这种减肥，因为我的身体拒绝使用我的血液中葡萄糖作为能量，因此，我体内的脂肪烧掉试图弥补，能源的。我总是感觉疲惫和虚弱。我经常觉得我的视力模糊（2型糖尿病，2012年）。
这是我的第一天，作为一名糖尿病患者，我不喜欢它。我哥哥带我去他每天步行20分钟，我每天早上散步，慢慢增加我的时间。我也必须调整自己的饮食习惯和我的饮食习惯肯定不包含牛排或啤酒。这将是真的很难打破旧的习惯。但我希望，所有这些努力会带来我的血糖水平，我不会有诉诸胰岛素。我知道我会做什么，它保持了我的血糖水平低的任何疏忽，可能会影响我的视力（视网膜病变在医学上称为）。从MD塞贝尔（2009年）中提到了一本小册子，它也可以导致肾脏，心脏和血管疾病，甚至认为去那里，我太害怕。
