MY NAME IS FRANK I AM A 44 YEAR OLD FATHER OF TWO WONDERFULL CHILDREN MY WIFE TAWANNA AND I ADOPTED. WE ADOPTED BECAUSE MY HEALTH LEFT ME UNABLE TO FATHER MY OWN. I WAS DIAGNOISED WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO. I ATTENDED SOME CLASSES ABOUT MY DIABETES BUT I DIDNT TAKE ANYTHING FROM THEM.AS I TOOK MY MEDICINE AND BEGAN TO FEEL BETTER I THOUGHT I HAD WON THE BATTLE, I COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG. I THOUGHT AS LONG AS I FELT GOOD THAT MY DIABETES WAS IN CONTROL BUT I SOON LEARNED DIFFRENTLY. IN THE LAST 5 YEARS I HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITOL OVER 20 TIMES I HAVE HAD 5 MAJOR SURGERIES INC QUAD BYPASS,PANCREATIC CANCER AND LUNG SURGERY AS WELL AS A TOE AMPUTATION. SO I HAVE LEARNED ALOT ABOUT THE WRONG WAY OF DOING THINGS. I BELIEVE THE LORD HAS SPARED MY LIFE TO THIS POINT SO THAT I CAN SHARE MY STORY AND HELP OTHERS. AND I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO DO SO. GOD BLESS , FRANK
