#transformationtuesday
My transformations story today is a little different than most...
This picture makes memories rise quickly for me...many good but a really bad memory sticks out when seeing my arm here...
I was traveling the auto show circuit for BMW at the time with a group of amazing men and women who are now some of my best friends. I had just broke my arm before this pic was taken in New York. I blacked out while full out sprinting! It was very scary as I wake up laying in the road of our little subdivision, no one around to help me as I yelled out for help. It took me a while to be able to stand up as I was bleeding terribly and was in shock of what had just happened. I had never broken a bone in my body until this day and was training for a half marathon. This was not how I found out I had diabetes...I already had been diagnosed.
Fast forward to today, it took a lot of nerve to start running again. I was afraid to for quite some time. Today, I run with my Dexcom CGM and feel confident that I'll be fine! I also workout daily in my home and with the help of my amazing Dexcom, I have the confidence to do so alone. What a blessing it has been in my life.
Even though I had a great transformation last year with one of my programs, I think my biggest transformation has happened in the inside! I'm healthier, happier and I take of of myself as best as I can with type 1 diabetes. Everyday is a struggle but I'm keeping my head up as I am stronger than this disease!!! You are too my friends with Diabetes! Believe in yourself!!! You've got this!!!
