Well, my transformation began when I started using a CPAP (Constant Pressure on Air Passageways) machine at the Medical College of Georgia Sleep Study Center. The people there are nice and most helpful. I got my first good night's sleep in years there in May 2009.

Because I'm one of many people who have sleep apnea, Medicare pays for a home CPAP machine which I use and this breathing machine keeps my air passageways pressurized so that they stay open instead of closing.

For many years with this debilitating condition untreated it weakened me and caused a great weight gain and strugle just to stay awake. I developed diabetes as a result of the sleep apnea since I was trying to sleep all the time, and usually falling into a sort of "passed out" state of being as soon as I sat down anywhere.

I tried to eat in order to get some energy into my body, but that didn't work and actually make my sugar spikes worsen. This dangerous disease is cured by well oxygenated sleep.

Now I get well-oxygenated sleep; so necessary for good health, and I am losing weight naturally. I want to look at the Beachbody® exercise program for Diabetes, and try it to improve my health. I know exercise makes me feel better, problem is I have been feeling too bad to exercise for many years, and my muscles have weakened, atrophied, shriveled up!

Someone said use it or lose it and I agree! I am struggling to start exercising again, because at one time I had a flat six-pack abs, and now I look like I swallowed a large balloon. It is a hernia, but that is only part of it, most of it is just plain old body fat.
