Encouragement (Sugar-Free): My Introduction

My name is Travis Grubbs. I wear a few hats that include: Building & Zoning Inspector, Home Inspector, Part-Time Writer (or Writer Wannabee), and Type 2 Diabetic. The last two hats have resulted in my writing a monthly column for dLife, "Turn the Page". It can be found at http://www.dlife.com/dLife/do/ShowContent/daily_living/Viewpoints/grubb_bio.html  

Let's be honest. If you have type 2 diabetes you are probably not a stranger to being over weight, over eating, fast food, sweets, a high carbohydrate diet, a sedentary life style, etc. I was "one of those" until my world was rocked out of its orbit when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in May 2006. I received a crash course in Diabetes Management and was sent out to face a "New World", with doctor's orders to gain control of my type 2 diabetes.  

You have probably "been there and done that", or you may still be in the "been there" phase. I guess we never really get out of that phase, but I am making it my mission to get as many of my fellow T2's from "been there" to "done that" that I can. Another honest fact (from which I have no numbers to support), there are folks that get left behind or fall by the way side by not getting control of their diabetes. For me that's not acceptable. I want those people back on the right track.

I realize that I (and we) can't fix people, but I (and we) can certainly encourage the crap out of them! And that is my humble mission. I would appreciate you joining me in this endeavor. I will be posting a share post column entitled "Encouragement (Sugar-Free)".
