The journey so far

I live in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu. I have been working as an officer in a bank for the last 18 years. I was found to be prediabetic at the age of 17. Prior to this diagnosis, I had no health complaints. I was diagnosed with Diabetes during a pre-surgery blood test. My blood sugar level was 545 mg/dL. I was prescribed insulin injections which I had to take four times a day. At that time, I had trouble accepting the diagnosis but now I have no hesitation discussing my diagnosis of Diabetes with my friends and family.
