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 stopped 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.

Everyone's response to their diagnosis and condition

will be 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 care team.

Make no changes without their guidance, support,

and help.
