Last year I was diagnosed with diabetes. I started taking medication and changing my diet. After a while, I started eating like I was and eventually stopped taking the medication, believing that Diabetes was a very gradual story.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, my eye sight started getting more blurry than usual, I was getting excessively thirsty and running to the bathroom a lot. My mouth was constantly dry too!

My old glucose meter died on me a few months ago and didn't bother to get it replaced right away. Knowing that something wasn't quite right, I bought a new one. When monitoring my sugar, it came over 600!

From advice of friends, I went to the hospital. My blood sugar went up to 800! The Dr's said that I was very fortunate and that I was only within hours of intensive care!

I was admitted and they did everything that they could to get my blood sugar down.

Bottom line, I thought that this wasn't anything serious, but turned out to be very serious instead! If you have diabetes, do take your medicine and eat right. Don't do what I did, your life might depend on it!
