Redefine Success

When I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes it changed my whole life. How could it not? Every single thing in my life was about to change. This would also be one of the biggest blessings of my life. How could something as devastating as a disease diagnosis ever be a blessing? Well, I learned much more about nutrition, exercise and human functions as I struggled with the disease. Every person has these things going on inside them, a million variables always in calculation with each other. Last night's choices in food, alcohol consumption, effects of alcohol on insulin resistance, immediate effects on blood sugar level, long term diet, the list is near endless. So, making the best decisions can be quite difficult, but I keep learning. I could ignore it as some other type 1 diabetics do, but a short miserable life is never the answer.
