My name is Letty I would like to share my story with you in hopes that you won’t have to experience the same suffering I went through and I watched my love ones endure. My mother died from a preventable disease (type 2 diabetes) and my dad’s lost his sight due to effects of being a diabetic for over 40 years. My siblings are also diabetic, as well as immediate family members. It makes me angry that this has happened to my family and it makes me determined to help others do better. I watched my mother languish in the ICU the last 30 days of her life, as she was put on a ventilator then a feeding tube then a tracheotomy tube; her hands were tied down so she wouldn’t pull on her tubes. She could not speak, but you could see the terror in her eyes as she suffered for almost 30 days in a helpless state. The emotional pain I endured watching my mother’s health deteriorate took a tool on my diet and health. I was emotionally overwhelmed, depressed, eating unhealthy foods, not getting enough sleep. Experiencing this situation took a toll in my health, I reached 235 pounds. My clothes would not fit; I was in the worst shape ever. I was literally hurting my body. I was born with hip dysplasia in my right hip, as I gained more weight my conditioned worsened. The pain became so invariable that I was taking pain killers on a regular basis. As I watched my mother s health deteriorate I could picture that being me. At that point I made the decision to change my life so my family would not have to endure the same pain I was going through watching my mother die.
