My experience and struggle with diabetes

Hello my fellow truck drivers. I would like just a few moments of your time to share a brief story about my complications with diabetes. Around summer time of 2017 I was diagnosed as a type II diabetic after failing my urinalysis for a job I had applied for based in Dallas. The doctor told me my body was spilling Ketones.

After going back to Virginia, the doctor at the hospital told me that my blood sugar had spiked up to 499 mg/dl, and I had an A1C of 8.3. I had to spend the night in the hospital under an insulin drip in order to initially correct it. The next day my doctor put me on Metformin, Apedra, and Lantus. I had to take a Metformin every 12 hours, Lantus every 12 hours, and Apedra before every meal.

Needless to say I began dieting, and watching my blood sugar. I saw some decent improvements in my A1C as it began gradually lowering to a 7.0. I had dropped my weight from 315 down to 280 at this time. But I still wasn't happy with those numbers, and began doing more and more research on anything I could do to try and get my DOT card back, and revitalize my pancreas back to a healthy state.

During my research I've found more than a few articles saying that CBD oil would actually help to reverse the effects of diabetes, and in some cases actually "cure" the disease. I began using it in it's recommended dosages while continuing a healthier life style, and my medications. After about 6 more months I went back in for my A1C, and to my own surprise it had actually dropped to below a 5.6 with a total weight loss of 70 lbs.

My doctor has now taken me off of insulin, and I am able to drive truck again without having to go through some absurd political loophole with regulations. I am now considered what they call a "controlled diabetic". I still check my blood sugar on a semi regular basis for fear of it spiking, but as far as I can tell it stays within normal ranges.

I'm not going to say my use of CBD oil was the only contributing factor to this reversal, but it certainly did help. I encourage any driver who is struggling with pre-diabetes to at least look into it. I also encourage anybody that thinks Marijuana should stay illegal to consider this post, and how an extract from that "evil" plant helped me to stay alive and gain my career back. This took me a commitment of almost 2 years to accomplish.

Just because I think Marijuana should be legalized does not make me an irresponsible person. It means that in order for me to continue using CBD oil, the people who are growing Marijuana need to be allowed to continue to grow Marijuana. Because without Marijuana, there would be no CBD oil.

 

It's a Marijuana plant extract that's still being clinically researched. There are a ton of articles about it's numerous health benefits, here's a link to one that you can start with.

Type II is less severe than Type I.

 

Your point being? is this some frail attempt to discredit or troll me?
