J Pitts Speaks
My Battle with the Disease of Diabetes

From as early as the age of five I have been very active in all kinds of sports and other activities. I played four sports in high school to include baseball, basketball, football and track. Earned a Division One football scholarship to Michigan State University and continued basketball at a very competitive level. I help raise three kids and continued to stay very active with them in their sports. In about 2007 I started to have more visit to the bathroom and falling asleep whenever I was not active. My moods were all over the charts. My wife after several years of these mood swings took me to my doctor (because I wouldn’t go) where he did my blood work indicating if there was a problem he would call. He did and said I needed to come in. I didn’t. Hear my story and my near death experience with Diabetes.
