1 - So it begins...

So how did we get here? It first started when I was 49 years old and the doctor told me that I was a Type 2 diabetic. I was a mess physically weighing in at 190 lbs. and my A1C was 7.4 so I decided I better do something about it. In just 3 months I had lowered my A1C to 6.0 and dropped my weight to 160 lbs. and in just three months more the A1C would go down to 5.7/5.8. Turn the dial 5 years forward, November 19, 2017 (Age 54) and my life would change forever. I spent 5 weeks in rehab after a Hemorrhagic Stroke on the left side of the brain, thus leading to The Basil Ganglia Connection. My goal is simple, I have tried many things, some have worked, some have not and I hope that sharing my experience will save you save some time. I'm 58 yrs. old as I sit here and write this and trust it will help you in some small way. I weigh 140lbs. (due to the great meals at the Hospital) and I would like you to consider my go to word which is PERSEVERANCE - No matter what God allows to come my way, I will keep going. Now for the legal disclaimer - much of what I will write about is personal experiences and I cannot say if it will or will not work for you, so venture in with an open mind and I hope in some small way this site will be a help to you.
