"If I didn't have diabetes, I would probably be at the International House of Pancakes eating a stack of pancakes with butter and syrup. I would probably be 250 pounds. I would not be going to the doctor. I probably wouldn't be married to my husband, Lamar Sally. I wouldn't be healthy for my son, Jeffrey," she said.
She now exercises regularly, eats healthier and is maintaining her blood sugar at the right range. She is not on any diabetes medications and has never felt healthier like she feels now.
