Still other have to live with diabetes, high cholesteral or high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Had my quarterly appointment with the doctor yesterday after a delay of one month. My reading for glucose shot through the roof, 14 and above. Doctor asks me, Dan wat to do? Strange question you are the doctor you tell me wat to do? Doctor wants to hear from my mouth. He knows that I have put it off for more than three years.<\/p>\n<p>I said okay, let&#8217;s do it, put me on insulin. For the last four months I chose not to take my medications. Someone&nbsp; told me that virgin coconut oil is good for me so I took two bottles&nbsp; courtesy of a friend. After consuming the two bottles, I got no better.<\/p>\n<p>A nurse show me how to take the insulin, one before breakfast and another before dinner. First, wash you hands, use a alcohol swab to clean your stomach, put the needle in two fingers from the navel. I used to faint at the sight of a needle. Here I inserted it in stomach and feel nothing, no pain not even a ant bite.<\/p>\n<p>It was a breeze going though the process, all my fear were unfounded. I wish I have done it earlier. Last night I slept soundly through the night, waking up at 9:30am and feeling very good. So my friend if you see be taking out my shirt before dinner, encourage me on. It would be better too if I say a prayer!<\/p>\n<p>Whatever we may go through in life, let&#8217;s try to accept it and hope for the best.
