This meant a lifetime sentence of constantly monitoring my sugar intake and giving myself at least four injections of insulin a day. If I wasn’t careful, my future could include limb amputations, vision loss, and even death. I was encouraged to incorporate some physical activity into my schedule to keep my sugar levels in check. In doing so, I was able to not only improve my physical well-being, but also to alleviate the mental burden of being diagnosed with a chronic disease. Now, I realize that the YMCA was more than just a way for me to get into shape.
