After my run in with breast cancer last year and my severe reaction to docetaxel I have been trying to get my diabetes back under control. I have managed for almost 10 years now on diet and exercise. I have an HbA1c booked for 29th July. The results will not be good as I am all over the place with my levels. First thing in the morning it can be 10 or even slightly over, then it drops back during the day. Sometimes it is in the 6's or 7's and has even been in the 4's a couple of times (this makes me feel a bit unwell). I am not doing anything different to what I have done for the last few years and which got it down to 42. It will be a lot higher this time. Sorry I have rambled but I am despondent and even worrying if the part of my pancreas that has atrophied (shown on my CT scan) is increasing? I have to go to see the health care assistant when the blood results are back. Certainly not looking forward to it. However, I feel well, walk at least 10,000 steps per day and do Pilates once a week. Maybe this is the best I can do now? Feel better now I have got that off my chest LOL 😉
