You may be wondering a little about who I am and why this is the most important page you’ll ever visit as a diabetic..

Let me tell you a quick story about my grandmother who had type 2 diabetes and followed everything her doctors told her she had to do, took meds, followed a diet, etc. and still got worse. She died before I graduated high school. This made me make the decision that if I ever found a way to help somebody I would do whatever it takes to help them.

At the time I was trying to understand why after following the doctors advice, taking all the medications she was not getting better. I just wanted her to get better. The doctors were supposed to make her better. But she was getting worse..

I was struggling with helplessness and confusion on what to do to make my grannie well again. Even my parents didn’t know what to do.

And I was getting more and more frustrated and scared seeing her become so frail and weak, her hands trembling all the time. I still remember her pale face. 

Then the bottom fell out from under me when my grandmother had multiple heart attacks and I lost her forever.
