Motivation March: My mother is diabetic

To start of my "personal stories" for Diabetes week I thought I'd start with the person I'm closest to. My mom.

My mom had trouble with low blood sugar, when she was much younger, then when she was pregnant with me she had gestational diabetes. As the years went on she was diagnosed as type two diabetic. I remember when she taught, our to go breakfast was little debbie cakes, as we got in her car and went to school. As time went on Mom nixed the little debbies and we tried to eat healthier then my father was diagnosed as a diabetic. After my father died of Leukemia our eating habits changed drastically. But it wasn't until she read Wheat Belly that we got the healthiest we've ever been.

Before Mom read Wheat Belly her sugar would yo yo. But after we cut wheat out of our diet she didn't have as many problems. She mostly keeps her diabetes under control because she wants to be as healthy as possible. My mother is a great example for me. I'm proud of her.
