I am a 50 (almost 51) year old mother of three grown children. My youngest is leaving for college in the fall. I am a career professional and have always worked - currently I am an attorney for a large corporation. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2001 nad have yet to be able to control my glucose levels well. Although I have better control of my own time now, I have always used my dedication to my family and career as the excuse not to take care of myself. That excuse is no longer relevant (not that it ever really was). My motivation is to live a long and healthy life.
