Gotta Wanta

About the Book

Type II diabetes is hereditary and in my family my grandfather was diagnosed at age 35. He needed to go on insulin but was noncompliant and became a double amputee. My two uncles and my mother all had diabetes as well. My two uncles were also noncompliant and died at a very early age. My mother on the other hand had the gotta wanta and listened to my recommendations and lived until she was 90 years old. When I was diagnosed with type II diabetes (a lazy pancreas) my doctor wanted to put me on meds and I told him I AM A Health Educator and I wanted to control my sugars with life style change I did just that I lost 20 lb increased my exercise started salsa dancing and cooking and creating “ healthy” recipes and kept a positive attitude about life.
