Prediabetes and Drew Brees




Today I ate an unusually great amount of sugar. I will not even list it all. After I consumed this enormous intake of sugar, I started thinking that I should cut back. Diabetes has been the topic of many recent conversations and so it has already been on my mind. I started to think that I might have prediabetes. So I researched it. Dr. Oz and WebMd are awesome resources. Here are some symptoms. I excluded a few:

What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes?

Common symptoms of diabetes include:

  • Excessive thirst and appetite
  • Increased urination (sometimes as often as every hour)
  • Unusual weight loss or gain
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea, perhaps vomiting
  • Blurred vision
  • Dry mouth
  • Slow-healing sores or cuts
Anyhow. I really think I am going to get checked. But for now, I am going to cut back on the sugar.... This is a sad day. A very sad day.

ANNNNDDDD. In other news, Drew Brees. I'm wondering if he is a Christian. He is now my favorite football player.

I believe there was research that came out a few years ago that disproved the theory that you can get diabetes from eating too much sugar. Pretty sure because I remember losing all my guilt about eating copious amounts of it afterwards =).
