My name is Anna Wells and I live in Oklahoma. I am diabetic and wanting to reverse my diabetes. I have chosen SparkPeople.com to help me get some motivation to reach my goals I was retired because of my vision, a complication from my diabetes. "Retired" is still a foreign workd to me.
I have recently turned to the vegetarian lifestyle and have had some successes with that. I have lost 14 lbs since Thanksgiving, but still I am learning more about this lifestyle.
I do crafts, crocheting mainly since being retired and an a one-person fundraiser to raise funds for our Church building fund using my crochet experience.
Since turning to vegetarianism and beganism my blood sugar has dropped below 200 thereby dropping the insulin usage to 4-6 ;units a day. I am hoping that I can completely eliminate it pretty soon.
I am a mother of 6 grown children, all out on their own, and a grandmother of 9. While I am here in OK, all of my children and grandchildren live in MO, except 1 of my older girls. Can't drive because of my vision impairment so don't get to MO very often.
I am walking inside my home and doing the 28-day Spark People Boot Camp with Coach Nicole. Have plenty of energy, too.
