Words You Never Expect - Unprepared

Today started out alright, I stayed at a friends house last night and got up and did the normal things. Got ready for the day and read my bible. I couldn't stay long at my friend because I had a doctors appointment. I didn't expect much out of my doctors appointment. I was wrong. I checked in and sat down next to a very nice old man. He talked to me about how getting old isn't fun and we just chit-chatted for a little. The blood work lady then came and called me back for my blood test and said it would be quick and easy. Of course, she was right, I was in and out. Yay for healthy veins! She told me to go sit back out in the lobby so the nurse could come get me. The nurse came and we did the regular, weight, blood pressure, temp, and then went to that tiny room where you get asked all those questions. I waited for my doctor patiently and I heard some nurses talking outside my door and heard my doctor asked if they had my A1C and blood work back. Then I heard my doctor say "oh my gosh! That isn't good." My doctor then walked in and I asked her if I was dying. She looked at me and said that my results weren't the greatest. She then asked how I was doing and I said I was okay and explained to her all the problems I have been having, she said it was caused all by that my A1C went up to 10.2, they want it down to a 7 at least for me. That my body was starting to quit on me and if we don't fix it as soon as possible, I could die, depending on what starts to shut down first. It was hard to hear that because she said that if it doesn't come down, I could have a thyroid problem along with things that may be failing in my body and I am at risk of things like; Eye, heart, kidney disease, nerve damage, stroke, and lower brain function. For me that is huge, considering that I am only 17. She said that my body has probably started to ignore things like circulation to my hands and feet because they are cold all the time and that my nerve damage may have started because I get these spots that tingle and hurt. If my numbers don't decrease soon, it isn't going to be good.

I am scared because if my numbers and thyroids don't cooperate my body is going to start to shut down. If my numbers don't come down, I am at a higher risk of going into a diabetic coma.

2 weeks and it's back for blood work to see if things have changed and gotten better. Praying that things will be good and not worse and if they are worse praying that I will be able to keep my eyes on this God that works together for good.
