The sad news I was told on June 24, 2009

So yesterday was a day that I will never forget. What I thought was a ordinary day turned out to be a day that will now change the rest of my life.
Woke Up: 5:15am
Got to work :6:45 am
I was going about my normal morning, I ate a bagel around 7:30am with my morning soda, since I dont drink coffee very often soda is what gives me my caffiene. At about 10:30am I started not feeling good. I felt very hot, so I turned on my little fan at my desk. Next think I know while I am on the phone with a homeowner, I feel this RUSH of tingling go from my feet to my head, and apparently after that my head tipped over onto my desk. I had passed out. My co-worker next to me but her homeowner on the line and my manager was sitting right behind me. She rushed to my desk. Once I came out of it in a matter of seconds my co-worker completed my call and my manager took me carefully to her desk. She asked if I wanted a paramedic to be called. She got me some juice and some gum to try to get sugar in me. I sat there for a little over an hour not knowing what happend but not really feeling good. I decided to have Michael come and pick me up to take me to Urgent Care.
That was when my long night started. So after running an EKG and that being normal, they did blood work and urine samples. My diagnosis was sadly found. They clearly were able to determine that I have Diabetes. I was going to be there for quite awhile. Now the Kaiser Urgent care in Lancaster has been newly built. They built almost a hospital style one on the same property as the old, but one half is all rooms for urgent care and the otherside literally is like a hospital triage unit. I had to get attached to a IV so that my body could get re hydrated. My blood sugar level when I got there at 12:00pm was at 276. Apparantly for a person who does not have Diabetes your blood sugar should be below 130 someone with type 2 Diabetes should be below 180. So with being said they did diagnos me with type 2 Diabetes. I know I will beat this with change of foods and diet. I hate that now I have to check my blood sugar levels everyday and take a baby aspirin every day for the rest of my life. I cried at first since I didnt know a lot about it. I was scared. But now that I am reading more into it I know that I will be fine, as long as I want to be fine and maintain my lifestyle in a healthy way. I thought it was all because of my weight, however the Dr. said no its not always due to weight. So wish me luck on my new chapter in life.
