Joe has been having some health issues for a few months now, he get really dizzy and has blacked out a couple of times, one time was while he was sitting in his computer class at school, so over his spring break I took him into the doctor to see if we could figure out what is going on with him. They ran a bunch of blood work on him, one of the test was to see if he was diabetic. The doctor told us that if all of the test came back normal then the next step was to come in for an Insulin Resistance test. The first round of tests only showed that he was Vitamin D deficient, so they put him on some meds for that, and then we had to go back and do the 3 hour Insulin Resistance test. We found out yesterday that he is in fact Insulin Resistant, so he is now on meds for that and we have to do a life style change and change our diet. We are now learning how to balance carbs and proteins, which is really hard work! Hopefully with the medication and learning to balance the carbs and proteins we will get him healthy again.
On a positive note, He is doing really well at school! He did awesome on all of his mid terms. Only a few more weeks and another semester is over and he is one step closer to graduating with an Electrical Engineer degree!
