When I received the news this past Friday that I had diabetes, I was completely terrified and ashamed. I didn't understand how I could let myself get to this point. I am only 22 years old and now I have this big scary disease that I knew nothing about. Except that it can really destroy the body. I was devistated. After many, many tears and talking to my amazing team at work and my family, I realized This is my time to change. This isn't the end of the world, but the start of a new journey. A better one! I can conquer diabetes! I have so much wonderful support around me and all the right ingredients for success. I am ready to be healthier and happier. I know the road ahead will not be easy, but it will be worth it. It's time to get to work!!! Let's do this!!!

Love,

Sammi

    You go girl! With your attitude and described inner circle, you WILL succeed. Take one day at a time, and one small goal at a time. As I tell myself, you didn't put the pounds on overnight, so it's not all going to fall off overnight. Be patient and stay strong!

    Go for it! I have pre-diabetes and I am trying to lose weight and make changes so it doesn't progress. It really is a scary diagnosis but it sounds like you are on the right track to manage it.
