This diabetes thing is a pain in the @$$, but as you say, it can be controled. I know just how you feel (diagnosed 13 years ago on April Fools Day). Exersize, diet and checkin' that sugar count every day really does work (now if I could only do what I say). Glad to see your back on trac and workin' on the Gremmie.. Gary 'The Mix'
Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] TO HECK WITH the DIABETES!!!!!!!! Its Gremlin Time!! LONG!
I was Diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes last OCT. I must have had it for
a while and it reallllllllly Kicked My Ass when the symptoms showed up.
I have not so great vision but not super bad. One day I woke up and
could see without my glasses. Like Perfect vision...............
Yeah thats screwed up aint it!?. Then I started to PEE like every
waking minute.
Like early morning.. night after a case.. kinda PEE. Every hour!!!
I drank like 2 gallons of water a day. I couldnt get enough water like
I was in the desert or something....
I was absolutly fine up until all this happend.
Well, a blood test revield I had Type 2 diabetes and My Blood sugar in
the morning was 500+ with no food having been eatin for 8 hrs or so!!
I am non insulin Dependent but I have to have meds to control it.
Its pretty much normal now but I had to change my diet and with that
and controling the Blood sugar I lost 40 lbs since Oct. I was a Fatty
and so I needed to loose it anyway, but what a piss poor way to do it
huh?!!
So anyway.....I have been feeling like a Million bucks lately so today
I took off work and busted ass on MY GREMLIN!!! I went to the salvage
yards first and looked for AMC stuff and some trunk carpet for my SRT-4
and then I headed home to work on the Gremlin
Heres what I did.....
I got my new Poly bushings in everything except the a-arms. I put the
leaf springs on and even threw the rear end back in it!. Its been
jacked up with no rearend since before sept! I was crawling around
under that car like I was 16 again!!! It was great! I ended up having
to stop and and make a post to ask the guys which way the spring plates
went though. After that I sand blasted the crap out of my stock gas
tank and re-painted it. It came out way better than I expected.
So It was a great day! I havent even wanted to see my gremlin let
alone work on it. But Im starting to come back around. I havent felt
this good in years!!!!!
I getting that thing smokin the tires by summer I can almost garuntee
it!!!
