JDRF - Cure Diabetes

Serious Topic: Diabetes

I wanted to write about something that is serious. I don't have diabetes, but I know people and members of their family that do. It's a hard thing to live with, especially since it disables you from doing and eating certain things because you have to keep watching your intake. Sometimes it seems as though it's a pain in the ass to keep injecting yourself before you eat as well. So I figured I'd take the time to just write a little bit about this disease they call Diabetes. 

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is basically a group of diseases characterized by the high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin.

Symptoms?

Many symptoms of diabetes is undetected because it seems so harmless. Get it checked just to confirm if you feel as if you're experiencing the following:

Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms:

- frequent urination

- rapid weight loss

- extreme hunger or thirst

- and extreme fatigue or irritability

Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms:

- frequent infections

- blurred vision

- cuts/bruises that take long to heal

- tingling/numbness in the hands or feet

- recurring skin, gums, or bladder infection

- OR ANY OF THE TYPE 1 SYMPTOMS

How to Prevent Getting Diabetes?

You can change your diet, increase your level of physical activity, and maintain a healthy weight; these are just some of the things you can do reduce your risk of diabetes.

Choose to stay active and eat right early on. What you do can effect not only yourself, but your children as well. 

yes, I'm that FOB man

Who's that FOB man? You ask..

The Official Intro..
...this has to be my 5th blog or so. I'm actually working 7 days a week 12+hours each day (except weekends) so I figured, how can I pass the time away?..with a blog! Actually, it's pretty busy but during the nights, it tends to slow down a bit.

A Little Info About Me
If you guys don't know by now, I'm that FOB man. Fresh.!!...off the boat. I'm a pisces, swimming in that water finding Nemo. I'm laid back, hardly ever showing that I'm stressed out, except when I'm trying to sit in my office chair holding my deuce because I'm stuck trying to fix someone's computer. Imagine the facial expression! Hilarious! (this is the end of the little info about me section)

It took me till my late 20's to understand the simplest things in life, but better late than never right? I like the backstreet boys and some songs from 98 degrees as well. Yea, I said it! I know everyone listens to them too or else they wouldn't hit the top like they did. I bet you guys even rolled up your windows at the stop light because you didn't want the other car next to you to hear "I want it that way" blasting through your speakers...and no, I'm not talking about myself..I'm just saying.

A little story of..
So I woke up, brushed my teeth, washed my face, got dressed and went to work one morning. (story of my life) I knew I had to blow my nose, but I didn't think there's an actual "substance" stuck near the nostril region of my nose. Stopped by a local dunkin donuts to get some coffee and I hear one of the Indian guys working there speak some Indian and chuckled. Got my coffee, drove to work and stepped in the building and I had to go urinate. Shook it for a last drop, zipped up and went to wash my hands...looked up at myself in the mirror while getting some handsoap and gawdamn!!!!!!!! a booger was stuck on my face and no one told me!
