I too am a diabetic, from a family of diabetics and of hispanic descent (that's two strikes against me from the get-go). I'm now 49, was diagnosed at age 40, and have dealt with rounds of spikes. My doctor has discussed putting me on insulin for the past couple of years, but so far I have resisted. The reason? Some research indicates that Type II diabetes is a disease of too much insulin in the body, rather than too little, and insulin resistance is the result. Moreover, high blood sugar levels are an indication of other underlying problems. Like you, I work to keep down the weight by diet and exercise, and take a few different prescription meds to try to regulate blood sugar levels. Obviously, it's important for you to work with your doctor and nurse to ensure you maintain the best possible health. But I would encourage you to consider other options. One possible alternative is to look into some of the writings of Dr. Mark Hyman and his UltraWellness blog <a href="http://www.ultrawellness.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ultrawellness.com/blog/</a> . In particular, I would recommend reading this post about the underlying causes of what he calls "diabesity": <a href="http://www.ultrawellness.com/blog/diabesity-prescription-treating-the-real-causes" rel="nofollow">http://www.ultrawellness.com/blog/diabesity-prescription-treating-the-real-causes</a> .</p> <p>All best wishes to you and to your health!</p> Shel – Thanks for writing about this.

I lost one of my best friends (he was 32 years old) to diabetes. Your post reminds me of him; he never complained, ran in Central Park nearly every day and one day dreamed on competing in a marathon, with "insulin breaks." His name was Tom Ryan and he was more full of life, determination and energy (and never ONCE complained) than most "normal" people.

I read the part of your post about your new bed time ritual with particular interest because, unfortunately, one night, Tom went to sleep and never awakened.

Thank you for sharing a very personal part of you. And reminding me of my friend Tom – when I think of him, I still smile.

Thanks for sharing this, and for sharing how your perspective has changed over your life of this battle, and that at this point you've started the process of reframing this away from "losing the battle" to a "genetic necessity" and the best way to treat your condition.

I wish you the best in this process, my friend. I wish I had some wisdom to share…I hope for many blessings to you in 2010.
