Diabetic Cyborg Life 01/05: What Happened now? Pt. 2
… Years of inattention with health in mind and the degeneration of no doctor’s attention had my health in an alarming state. In 2013, my mother’s primary care physician, PCP, saw me out of caring too much and diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes. He was an internist, not an endocrinologist, so he could only judge me by all he knew and could see.
Years later, I know that there is a blood test that shows that you are diabetic or not, I am type 1 now and was then BTW. I am thankful he put into action the regular checkup routine that I follow up to this day. The slow degeneration of my brain from multiple sclerosis was not present at that time.
Then I was just about to get into grad school and wanted more than anything to go on to a Ph.D. and teach at a university or college.
That slowly slid down to a masters and teaching undergrads at a university or community college.
This slip in aspirations was due to a lack of a thesis and the mind to write one.
