No signs, no red flags—Until his diagnosis changed everything
Bill felt fine—until a routine blood test revealed what was happening inside. At 278 pounds, his health was already under strain—but he had no symptoms, no warning signs. Then the test results came back:
🚨 A1C at 9.8%—full-blown type 2 diabetes
🚨 Cholesterol at 210—putting him at risk for a heart attack

Beneath the surface, damage was already happening—even though he felt completely normal.

High blood sugar doesn’t just stay in your bloodstream—it impacts your entire body, quietly damaging your most vital organs:
Heart & arteries – Increased inflammation, rapid accumulation of plaque in the arteries, and greater risk of a traveling blood clot to further elevate heart attack risk
Kidneys – Glucose overload damages tiny filters, leading to kidney disease
Vision – High sugar weakens blood vessels, increasing the risk of blindness

If you haven’t checked your A1C lately or suspect your numbers are climbing, now is the time to act. It's always good to know what you're dealing with, so go and have your A1C and fasting blood glucose tested. Both can give valuable insight.

If your A1C is climbing, your body is already struggling to keep up—but there’s still time to reverse course before lasting damage sets in. 

Bill Took Action—You Can Too
Instead of letting diabetes fester, Bill took control. He followed my clear, science-backed plan and, in just three months, transformed his health:
✅ A1C dropped to 5.6—no longer diabetes
✅ Cholesterol down to 138—now considered “Heart-Attack Proof”
Lost 70 pounds—a relief to his heart and his joints

Bill’s story proves it: diabetes doesn’t have to be a life sentence. With the right plan and support, you can turn your numbers—and your future—around.

This blog is dedicated to Irl Flanagan, who was my friend and grammar mentor. Over the last 20 or so years, he spent countless hours editing my manuscripts and teaching me the intricacies of sentence structure and the true meaning and the proper usage of words. 

Irl died 4 months before his 100th birthday.
