			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The middle of last week was a low point. So low, in fact, that I wound up going to the hospital. I learned that I was under a lot of stress; it was raising my blood pressure. I’m fine now, though…</p>
<p>The clinic I get examined at is student-run, and adjacent to the hospital; I had never gotten the results of my recent blood work, and I figured that I might as well kill two birds with one stone. After filling the doctor in, he stepped out for a few minutes.</p>
<p>He returned with my open chart in his hands, studying it carefully. “Mr. Tingle,” he begins, “What’re you doing to yourself?”<br />
My heart bottoms into my stomach. “Nothing out of the ordinary, why?” <em>Just what the hell are you about to tell me?!</em><br />
“Whatever you’re doing,” he looks up, smiling, “Keep it up.”</p>
<p>My <a href="http://diabetes.about.com/od/symptomsdiagnosis/a/HbA1c.htm">A1C</a> is down; my blood sugar stays pretty even. Although he couldn’t authorize it himself, he was going to recommend that medication <em>no longer be necessary in the management of my type two diabetes.</em></p>
<p>I have been off medication for about five days; it’s been an adjustment. I won’t say it’s been easy. My energy level has dropped off a bit, and my blood sugar peaked out a few days ago at 138. It consistently remains at around 98-112.</p>
<p>I still get up and work out every morning. I still eat a lot of fruit, I still remain very active, and I still take the necessary steps to keep my body going.</p>
<p>But you can officially take it from me.</p>
<p>You <em>can</em> beat this thing back.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.

		<description><![CDATA[When I was in my early-to-mid twenties, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It happened by accident; I was at the doctor’s trying to get cleared for something, they ran my blood work, surprise; no more Reese’s for you.
Of course, being me, I didn’t take it seriously; there are certain foods I’m just not [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The middle of last week was a low point. So low, in fact, that I wound up going to the hospital. I learned that I was under a lot of stress; it was raising my blood pressure. I’m fine now, though…</p>
<p>The clinic I get examined at is student-run, and adjacent to the hospital; I had never gotten the results of my recent blood work, and I figured that I might as well kill two birds with one stone. After filling the doctor in, he stepped out for a few minutes.</p>
<p>He returned with my open chart in his hands, studying it carefully. “Mr. Tingle,” he begins, “What’re you doing to yourself?”<br />
My heart bottoms into my stomach. “Nothing out of the ordinary, why?” <em>Just what the hell are you about to tell me?!</em><br />
“Whatever you’re doing,” he looks up, smiling, “Keep it up.”</p>
<p>My <a href="http://diabetes.about.com/od/symptomsdiagnosis/a/HbA1c.htm">A1C</a> is down; my blood sugar stays pretty even. Although he couldn’t authorize it himself, he was going to recommend that medication <em>no longer be necessary in the management of my type two diabetes.</em></p>
<p>I have been off medication for about five days; it’s been an adjustment. I won’t say it’s been easy. My energy level has dropped off a bit, and my blood sugar peaked out a few days ago at 138. It consistently remains at around 98-112.</p>
<p>I still get up and work out every morning. I still eat a lot of fruit, I still remain very active, and I still take the necessary steps to keep my body going.</p>
<p>But you can officially take it from me.</p>
<p>You <em>can</em> beat this thing back.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.
