My name is Brian R and I am 41 years old. Three days ago I was diagnosed with type 2. What a wake up call. It's been years since I've even had a physical and it was one hell of a shock to find out the state I was in.

I basically passed out at work and ended up going straight to the doctor that day. That day I was at 360! I basically did a physical with the doctor, blood work up, the whole shabang.

I just got my results, A1c 10.3, Cholesterol 751, Vitamin D deficiency, DAMN.

Time to wake up, new lifestyle begins right now!! I have a long road ahead, trying to turn this negative into a positive. GL everyone.
