Hi, I’m Wilford Brimley, and I have diabeetus

I haven’t really mentioned it, but after seeing Lou’s post earlier, I started thinking about it. Anyway, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a month ago today.

Now, I’m fully aware that I 100% did this to myself. I’ve gained almost 100 lbs since I moved back to PA in 2017. It started when messed up my back in late 2019, and then another chunk of it came after I broke my ribs 2 years ago. I take full responsibility for it, but an official diagnosis was the kick in the ass I needed to start taking my health more seriously.

I’ve started eating better and have cut out most sugar and carbs, have been managing my blood sugar with 2000mg of Metformin a day, and I’m down almost 10 lbs since the end of April 🤘

Now I’ve just gotta find the energy to start working out again and keep my diet in check (which has been easier than I thought it was gonna be) so I can drop the weight and eventually get off the meds.
