Type 2 diabetes diagnosis: 6 months later

I was sitting in my recliner watching TV on a sunny Sunday morning in June when my doctor called. I had been to see him that Friday for a checkup; he was passing on the alarming news that my blood glucose was over 300 mg/dL - about triple that of a healthy person.


“Whatever you do, don’t eat anything sweet,” he warned, after we made plans to have me see an endocrinologist that week.


After he hung up, I reviewed what I had eaten that morning: a latte from the French bakery down the street, along with a chocolate-almond croissant dusted in powdered sugar with two seams of rich dark chocolate inside. I had also polished off a pair of half-empty sorbet cartons in my freezer - you know, to clear the decks for the coming week.


Sugar was pretty much all I had eaten that morning.
