Okay, quick update so we know what's going on.

Good news: I have excellent blood pressure, cholesterol, and parathyroid.

Bad news: I am (and I stress this last part)Borderline Type II diabetic.

What this means is that I'll probably be on a bit of medication for the short term to get it under control, and long term I'm gonna change my diet, lose more weight, and get this taken care of.

I wanted to also take the time to thank everyone for leaving support. It means a lot, guys.

Now, I'm gonna go to lunch with the office, then do good works and get my weekend on.

Well that's a relief, it could have been much worse.

There's diabetes in my family, I've always worried about having it, considering my own weight it's not unlikely, though I haven't gotten it yet.

I'm sure you'll be able to do what needs to be done to get it under control. Good luck.

sorry to hear about the bad news. the good thing is that they caught it now, so they can start treating it. my mothers entire side of the family is either diabetic or hypoglycemic, so if you ever need someone to talk to, i'm here.

*throws confetti at you* I'm glad you have a good chance of getting out of it hon!

Well, I'm glad to hear it's not nearly as bad as it could have been. *waves flags* You can do it!

Wonderful sweet!!

*Hugs you tightly* I am glad, it was not much worse. Tell you what, we'll do this together. Send me the diet you are on and we'll do it that way, okay?

Listen up, Matt, that's how you do it. You do it together and the success rate shoots through the roof.


Diabetes is an atrocious (and fairly expensive) disease. Get ready to take this one to the mat. Do not deny your excellence.

*nods* I intend to, and that she's there to support me...it means a lot. And I don't intend to give up a life with her.

As soon as it's settled, I shall.

*Hugging back just as tight*

You are absolutely the most amazing woman ever. I love you past words right now, and I'm so glad I'm not going to lose you.

Wow: that's really too bad.

Good luck with everything. I know that diabetes is really tough.

You kick that diabetes' ass, man. I'll be rooting for you.

Well...I didn't want to leave a comment because 'diabetes' was the first thing that came into my head, and I didn't want to make you feel any worse.

Still, good to know you're on top of it. I've gotta start looking at my diet too, methinks, so I don't end up with it.

I'm sorry I didn't write this until now (got sidetracked, though it's no excuse).. I'm sorry you're in a sort of scary situation. I have the utmost confidence that you will be fine, but in the meantime if you need anything I'm here. You've been so wonderful and supportive of me during my stuff that I owe you at least a million things in return.

Now, you go get this sorted so you can come have tea with me. Bubble tea was it?

*hugs* Shhh. You cared enough to leave a comment. :D And yes, bubble tea is always good.
