Diagnosis
September 5, 2019 I had my three month check up with my doctor for diabetes. I had gained so much weight in the last 10 years I became full blown diabetic. I needed to lose weight or I would need to eventually start insulin injections. Back in August, I met with Jeanne at a local event, and she told me about this program called Optavia, where you order food from them to eat for the month, and make 1 lean and green meal a day. I started this program the week before school started. I’m a high school math teacher. I needed to get myself into a routine so I could stick with it. This was my chance to get the weight off. So after 2 or three weeks, I lost almost 15-20 pounds. My doctor was so impressed with my progress and my A1C level (went from a 6.5 to a 6.0). He casually mentions that he had done a referral for a mammogram like 4 years ago, and how I never went. We’ve done this dance with the weight loss, so he knows I’m worse that students when it comes to getting stuff do...
