Two days. That's how long it took to stop 35 units of insulin completely.
For 10 years I laughed at my diabetes. I'd check my sugar, see HI on the machine and crack jokes about it. "Hello, how are you?" It wasn't funny. It wasn't because I wanted to die. It was because I truly didn't know how I was gonna fix it. One day at work half my face went numb. Ended up in the hospital. Blood sugar over 500. A1C of 13. They sent me home. Then my doctor put me on Mounjaro and the Libre 3. I had no idea what any of it was. I put the sensor on my arm. 370. 300. Numbers I couldn't ignore anymore. Finished my last Dr Pepper. Took my first shot. Woke up checking my phone every 5 minutes. That was all it took. 6 weeks later — zero insulin. GMI 6.1%. Two changes. That's it. If you want the system — it's here. If you want excuses — you're gonna have to find those somewhere else. Welcome to Systems Over Symptoms. 🙏
