Late last year, Stephen King of Marietta (not the famous author) started feeling sick at work, having nausea, vomiting and dizziness.

King, who had known he was pre-diabetic, went to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

He later was unable to control his blood sugar levels despite repeated doctor visits. “My numbers were up and down,’’ he says now. “I didn’t seem to have any kind of control.”
