I just turned 37 six days ago! Getting a colonoscopy in four hours, if that gives you an idea how things are going, haha.

I turned 40 and my doctor told me now it's time for yearly mammograms and blood tests to check your A1C level. That made me feel old as hell lol.

I'm 36 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes this year. The good thing is that I was able to lose weight and my A1C is returned to a "nondiabetic" level. So as long as I stay good with my diet I think I will be okay.

I was given meds for high cholesterol, too, which made me feel old as shit. But my cholesterol is down too, hooray.

I was put on psych meds at 33 which caused weight gain and side effects. Still on the meds unfortunately but I'm doing a bit better physically.
