Today, a friend of mine, Coleman, told me he has been diagnosed as a diabetic. His doctor just told him to cut out the sweets, cut down on the carbohydrates and lose some weight. My friend does not know what exactly he can eat. I talked to him about some great websites that have great information on diabetes. He needs to attend a class locally that can give him a better insight as to the size of the portions and what he can and can not eat.

He goes back in a month to see his doctor to see what kind of progress he has made. His doctor has not prescribed any prescriptions yet. I thought this odd since his blood sugar was 276. I guess his doctor is trying to see if diet and exercise will help Coleman first and prevent having to take medications.

I know Coleman had been unusually tired lately. I thought it was his fibromyalgia acting up. I am glad he did go to his doctor. He is going to be going through an adjustment period. He is still in the state of shock. Stop by his blog and give him a word of encouragement.
