I was 230 lbs and my a1c was 16. My daily sugar was 500-600.
My triglycerides were 940. My cholesterol was 240. I started walking
two hours a day around the block so I could stop when I needed to.
I walked 8 miles a day for 3 years. My weight is 150lbs. My a1c for
three years is 5.3. My daily sugar is 90. My triglycerides are 160 and my
cholesterol is 160. But we have had a couple of shootings here now
and I am waiting to move. It took 6 yearsto recover.
It was a swift decline not over time.
And I wanted to connect in a poem to a real feeling that I get in the morning
when I wake up and realize it is friendly cat whiskers brushing against me
and the sun is up and the barrage of dreams are over for the night.
