My Story
Hey, I’m Joe. I got diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and honestly…
I had no idea what to do.
My doctor gave me 10 minutes, handed me a prescription for Ozempic ($1,300/month — seriously?), and said “eat less, move more.”
Cool. Super helpful. Thanks doc.
So I did what anyone does — I Googled. And you know what I found? A million contradictory articles, Facebook groups full of people as confused as me, and a whole lot of people trying to sell me stuff.
I was overwhelmed, scared, and had no clue where to start.
But here’s the thing…
I’m not the type to just accept deafeat. So I started:
Exercising
Experimenting with exercise (I hate the gym, had to find what works for me)
Testing
Testing my blood sugar obsessively (learning what actually affects it)
Medicating
Researching medications (there’s cheaper stuff than Ozempic that actually works)
Supplements
Trying different supplements (some work, most don’t)
Connecting
Talking to people who’ve been dealing with this longer than me
And I started getting results
My A1C dropped from 7.8 to 5.9 in 6 months. I’m down 25 pounds. I actually have energy again.
But here’s what really matters: I’m still learning. Every week I’m testing something new, talking to someone smarter than me, or discovering something that changes how I think about this.
And I figured… why not share it?
That’s what this is.
I’m not here to be your guru. I’m just a guy with diabetes who’s documenting his journey and hoping it helps you with yours.
