I suffer from diabetes and hypertension and I have to say that it began in good ole Barbecue, fried fish, as a matter of fact, fried everything Kansas City Missouri.
One pregnancy, and now a life-altering illness. It took Luther, Barry and many other Black icons away from us, and I am sure that a few of you lost a aunt, uncle or grandparent. Really, I know you may have lost more.
Diabetes and Hypertension are also known as the "Silent Killer" because you feel fine, although you are dying slowly. A huge hint of diabetes is the thirst. Hypertension, honestly there is no way of knowing, well until you are about to have a stroke or heart attack.
Get yourself checked. Shoot, go to the house of that family member that has a cuff or a glucose meter and check. You can also call the American Diabetes Association, or the Heart and Stroke Foundation to find various health check clinics.
You only have one life to live. Don't let food and a lack of exercise cut it short, unless you are a lazy, indulgent glutton and you are into that kind of thing.
