Well, last week I was diagnosed and put on diabetes medication. My glucose levels have always been in the normal range when I'd had them checked before, but this doctor tested my A1c and while not at the level considered full blown diabetes, they're right around the corner. I gained 50 lbs in 2013 and 30 of that in one month. The doc said that was probably when the insulin resistance started. So now, I'm doing a low carb diet with lots of protein. I also found out that my Vitamin D levels are severely low, which is also causing all sorts of problems. So I will be taking a huge prescription dose once per week. I'm hoping that will help with the weird pains and fatigue. I really miss walking. Two years ago I could walk 6+ miles at a time and felt great. Now, I can barely make it one mile, and sometimes I have to sit in the middle of that.
