A Little Introduction…..

Hello all. My name is Makendra James and I look forward to writing for you on Diabetes Notes. I have adult onset type II diabetes. I have been living with the disease for two and a half years and now have a firm hold on it. I exercise regularly and eat low carbohydrate, well balanced meals. Of course, with having three little girls, I do have the occasional bad food day. Who doesn’t? I am a nurse part time on a cardiac critical care floor. The majority of my time is spent at home with my girls, as well as two nephews that I watch two days a week. I like to keep busy!

What do I want to accomplish by writing about diabetes? I hope to bring you new research and breakthroughs in medications and treatments, coping mechanisms for everyday life, success stories and some personal reflections on the disease. I love writing and sharing my thoughts and opinions. I enjoy feedback, any type is welcome! If there is something you would like me to research, or focus on, contact me and let me know. Thank you all for your welcome and I look forward to hearing from you.
