Eye Opener

I had a doctor appointment on Friday.  While sitting in the waiting room, I observed some of the other people there.  Seeing what looked like the results of mismanagement of my disease really opened my eyes.  I saw an overwieght man, on crutches, with one of his legs wrapped heavily from the knee down.  I saw a woman trying to walk with a cane.  A journey which should have taken seconds took minutes due to her small stride and lack of energy.  I realized I don't want to be in their shoes ever. I realized I have to take care of myself before my diabetes takes care of me.
