fibro-betes

Many years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.  Knowing the name that caused all the pain helped understand a slightly better what I was living with and how much my life would be changing.  This past May I my doctor ran some test and told me that I'm now type 2 diabetic.  I wanted to cry and scream.  I have known many people who have diabetes and have seen how it has affected them and their loved ones.  The day after I saw my doctor, I decided that this was actually one of the best things to happen to me.  Being diagnosed with diabetes has opened my eyes to see how I was not taking care of myself and find ways to eat better, take care of myself better, find time for me, and find ways to be positive about the small things in my life.  I have accepted that fibromyalgia and diabetes are part of my life.  That it's up to me to be in charge of them and not let them control my life.  I am in control......
