My hospital clinic has put three appointments into one. The pump nurse appointment, consultant and dietitian appointments all at one appointment. I go to the first one of these on Tuesday. I am really worried about the hb wotsit results. I have been having a really bad time trying to help my sister. She is an alcoholic and has been in and out of rehab. I must admit that I have let myself down trying to help her and I have not been as strict as I usually am with food. I will be glad when it is over and done.
 
Try not to worry @spiritfree {{{HUGS}}} Life does get in the way of our best efforts sometimes, try not to be too hard on yourself - you have done a good and difficult thing helping your sister, I hope things have improved for her 🙂

I hope that your results are better than you are imagining, it's often the case 🙂 Let us know how you get on 🙂
 
Life happens @spiritfree Your diabetes team are there to support you, and should recognise that diabetes can not always be the utmost priority over family etc. Your HbA1c might not be as bad as you fear. Three appointments in one saves transport and reduces time off work, so usually more convenient.
 
Good luck.Hope it goes well.
When things are stressful we can only do the best we can.
 
Good luck with it all,

Somewhere on your agenda there needs to space for YOU.
 
Good luck for tomor spiritfree. You've had a lot to deal with and I'm sure they will understand. Hope things go better than you're expecting 🙂
