Those of you who know me, know that I can be slightly hardheaded about things from time to time.  Especially when it comes to doctors, or doing what doctors tell you to do.

Well, last fall, my wife finally talked me into doing the wellness program for the first time (it took a lot of talking).  The results of the tests they did, made them suggest I go see my own doctor.  I did not understand their concern because I felt fine, like there was nothing wrong.  The results of seeing my own doctor showed that I’m diabetic.  But, the diabetes was caught in the very early stages, and it is easily controlled with a slight change in diet and only one pill a day.

Since November (when we found out I have diabetes), I’ve eaten more vegetables than I have in my whole life.  And I hate vegetables.  I’ve lost some weight, and I feel better than I have in a long time.

Maybe the Wellness Program saved me a lot of future problems.  I plan to participate every year to come.

P.S.  I miss my ice cream after supper.
