Hello again everyone! I have gone from logging on every day and posting occasionally, to just trying to log on every so often to see how people are, to not having been on in several weeks :(. It's been a busy time and I have been away as well.
I had my six monthly check up and Hba1C was 6, everything else good except blood pressure which had gone up again. Currently trying another tablet and have to go back before Christmas to see if that's worked. Off to the hospital on Tuesday to have a couple of 'dodgy' moles cut out. When Christmas is out of the way, I intend to spend more time here. I have noticed I seem to be letting my diabetes 'drift' 🙄 a little since I have not been on the forum, and I need to get back on track and this is the best place to be!
 
Still around and after a xmas night out , soup, bread roll , xmas dinner and 😱 2 puddings , my readings this morning was 14.2 EEEKKKKKKKKKKKK
well today is another day and I get back on track lol .
Hope everyone is coping ok with all this xmas stuff going on .🙄 ohhh and lindasw hope the small ops go well x

Well done on the HbA1c, that's superb! Sounds like you are having similar problems to me with the BP - just won't reduce and the consultant is considering a new, extra pill if it hasn't improved in a few months. Hope yours has done the business when you go for your appointment, and that the ops go smoothly 🙂

Well, you probably know the reason for it (2 puds!) so hopefully that's not a daily occurrence 😱

Hi Lucy, yes I'm still alive, I still drop in and read most days, you guys keep me going but, I have been too ashamed to post because my weight is increasing. This, despite walking and now doing weights to try and stay off of the damned food! I am totally skunnered to put it politely, 'cos I can't figure out where I'm going wrong 😱
I finally managed to get a hbA1c reading from the DSN which although not great was going down (albeit only 0.1 point) but it's heading in the right direction again. It's sitting at 7.0 dead.
I am just so fed up. After all the hard work I am not as far forward as I had hoped I would be. :(
I'll make the effort to post more often guys, all the best. Jimbo.
 
Hey Jimbo, we all have those stalls, and it's nothing to be ashamed about at all. Sometimes, especially as the seasons change, things can become really tough, and especially when we get an early cold spell like this. So keep in touch for the motivational tips and keep trying and talking.
 
Am I MIA yet? was a search party sent out:D

Sorry guys/gals, have been busy, very very busy. Since my 1st D aniversary was also the first aniversar of my father death I kinda hid away a little and threw myself at work.

Now I have had my 12 month D review Hb1ac 8.4 so still improving, but more importantly I got to chat with a good doctor who lifted my spirits a little.

But I am back.


Did I miss anything?

Tez so so lovely to see you popping in your a BIG miss and thats just by me lol....Hope things start getting better for you sweet, you get yourself back up on your feet but dont forget us we are here for you if we are needed xxxxx
 
Hello, I have no excuse, i've just been spending my evenings with my head stuck in books.. I had my yearly review the other week, Hba1c was high (but my new meds hadn't really had time to have started working by then) and i've somehow been missed off the retinal scan list (grrrrr) but good news is i've lost weight!
 
Hi guys, I haven't been on for a while because I've been very busy.

I've got my diabetic clinic tomorrow so, hopefully everything will be going well and I'm hoping that my HbA1c has lowered some more.

Hope evey one is keeping well as there are some nasy tummy bugs going around at the moment.
 
Hi Phil nice to hear from you good luck for tomorrow x

I totally understand and commiserate, I am in the same place just now, nothing seems to be going right at all for me.
Thank God for the forum and all the good people on it. They are really helping me keep my chin up.
 
Hey Jimbo - great to hear from you!!
 
Jimbo said:
Hi Steffie, thanks!
I really like your mission statement, it gave me the first belly laugh I've had in ages.
(Forget Love, I'd rather fall into Chocolate) :D:D:D
