Borderline and monitoring the symptoms.

[Baitball Blogger]

I didn't even realize the symptoms I had been feeling over the last twenty years were a premonition of the disease. But now that my dad is diagnosed with Diabetes 2, I realize that I'm prone for it.

So, I have been trying like hell to ward it off and it's the damnest thing. I know I need to lose weight, but I can't go on a diet because I get hypoglycemic if I don't eat every three to four hours. Exercise is helping tremendously, but losing weight is still hard at my age.

I can feel the sense of urgency, however, because symptoms creep up in unexpected ways. For instance, the other night before I was ready for bed, my right ear went numb. Freaked me out. Half an hour later it was back to normal.

What were the early signs for everyone else?
