"We didn't want to tell you this just yet.
Well, your dad wanted to tell you himself."
I found out my dad has Type II Diabetes....and nothing has been the same since.
It's hard seeing him check his sugar levels, change his diet, watch what kind of snacks he can have, and request Splenda at every Dunkin' Donuts and every Diner. I'ts the reality though.
Knowing that he is diabetic concerned my doctor and I was told to take a glucose test. They asked me to drink this nasty orange-soda like substance, and they drew blood every hour for 3 hours!
IT WAS HORRIBLE!
Besides, I hate needles. My left arm hurt for about a week because something went wrong with a blood vessel, and the rest of the blood was drawn from my right arm. I went through all of that to find out that my sugar levels are stable. That, however should not convince me that I can eat any and everything. I'm still at a high risk of developing Diabetes later on in life because it is genetic.
