Lynn found one of our readers. As more than 23 million Americans have type 2 diabetes. She diagnosed a year ago. This is her story.

I never thought that I have type 2 diabetes not in my family and I had thought of them as healthy - even if I eat sweets, chocolate and fast food potluck dish several offices. I think I'll eat anything and not affect me.

I have to leave two divorces and more stressful. After that I think life is good. I have my level of blood glucose meter test a few years ago and discovered that it was not. Flow problems such as coronary artery disease, pulmonary arterial pressure levels, but call Lester Glucose for the whole. Engineer recommended that an appointment with your primary care doctor has been monitoring of diabetes.

Diabetes this cannot happen. I do not remember telling me that my doctors have high levels of glucose. We have also tried to warn all my life. I'm almost 5'3 "and weighing approximately 189 pounds, I'm fine. My mother used to tell me that I had to lose weight, but not listening. I do not listen to me when my brain told me I need to lose weight. No one else my mother and I said you need to lose weight. What I realized was that as I was in denial.

So I met with my doctor and he took all the tests correctly. I am on medication for high blood pressure. I tried drugs, but not cholesterol bearable. When I received the medical panel's report, told me that my blood as before and diabetes. I need to lose weight and rate of initiation. My glucose level was about 249 and was determined metformin (1,000 mg), which took me two days.

Doctors and have thoughts that occurred to me I would. I was diagnosed. "The disease, restless legs" and establish Clonazepam. I take before bed and when the pain is the worst pain. I thought about what is not.

After seeing a podiatrist to discuss the foot surgery Pre-op appointment, I said nothing as diabetes, pre - what he has or not. Laboratory reports have type 2 diabetes, he said. He also told me that pain and strange sensations in my right foot is my pain caused by diabetic nerve. I was scared all! I love my best medical diagnosis.

After surgery, I cannot believe that the pain was unbearable. The foot is completely wrapped around two weeks. I have more than sweet Vicodan first day.

Will be years from surgery. My foot still hurts more, but I can walk in these shoes - which mean that I do exercise! Now the problem I have is the nerve pain some days better than others. Once I cut the foot off, especially with surgery. But I know there is a real possibility of amputation, if not better care of my foot.
