Carolyn initially blamed her swollen feet and lack of energy on arthritis. It wasn’t until she visited an Endocrinologist that she learned she was living with diabetes. Determined to face her diagnosis head on, Carolyn immediately enrolled in diabetes education classes at the Hillcrest Center for Diabetes Management and began making major life changes.
