Nucksy's Daily Teleincision

.....and thanks to all those that have given service or their lives to this country. This includes my Dad(Vietnam), Grandfather(WWII), Uncles(Korea), and also Great Grandfather(WWI).

Well, it has been quite a while since the last time that I have written an entry. Needless to say, things have been extremely hectic. I got a new job that I absolutely love and have been at for over 3 months. It is actually a place where I can move up. I verify worker's comp claims on the phone all day. Pretty easy actually. Anyway, I have great benefits including insurance. They also offer tuition assistance after 6 months, so I hope to begin work on finishing my degree. On to the Carbs in the title.....I got a kick in the gut on April 17th. I found out that I have Type 2 diabetes. A little background: My brother was diagnosed with Type 1 roughly a month earlier(he almost died) and I was messing around with his glucose meter and the reading was 433!!! I did not think much of it at the time because I had just eaten a lot of pasta. I started to feel really bad and with the encouragement of a co-worker(her husband is diabetic) I made a doctor's appointment. This was on April 12th...
