Ok, for those who don't already know, here's the deal: I got new life insurance and had to do blood work about a month ago. My insurance agent called and said my blood work came back weird and I received a D rating which means that I have the highest premium. I took the lab results to my doctor last Friday.
He took one look at them and said that I was diabetic. He wanted to verify it with his own test, but said 9 times out of 10 the insurance lab results was accurate. He said that I probably wouldn't see symptoms for another 5 to 10 yrs, but we should start treating it now with medication and diet.
I took a Glucose test on Monday and am going back to see him tomorrow.

I guess the struggle that I will have is watching what I eat. Because I'm addicted to the "DEW" and love sweets and candy, which will probably be off my list of things to eat. Being from the south, I also love Sweet Tea and people in Colorado come over to my house to drink "Jamey's Sweet Tea"! We bought some Splenda yesterday, which is outrageously expensive and made a gallon of Splenda Tea last night and it was pretty good. Tea problem solved!!

I also begin walking last week. You can follow how am doing there with the Daily Mile widget in the right sidebar. So far, we've walked 10 miles in two weeks. I believe that I need to lose between 20-25 pounds. My goal weight is 150.

I'll let ya know what the Doc say's. I am praying that the first lab results were wrong!

Also, Mike Haley, a college buddy and pastor in Fountain, CO, and I are headed up the Manitou Springs Incline on Friday, May 1st. The incline goes up 2,000 feet in one mile. I don't know if I can do it or not, but it's a challenge that I want to do and I don't like Mike showing me up. He did it a couple of weeks ago. I'll let ya know how that goes too!!
