Sorry to hear about the rise Di, but you should take comfort from the fact that it is very small and your result is still pretty good. I suspect that part of the problem may have been all the disruption you have had to your normal routine whilst you had the house done, so it's more than likely the next HbA1c will be much better - keep smiling and don't let it bring you down! 🙂
 
Thats a great result Di, obviously going up is not want anyone wants, but its such a small rise I am sure you can get it back down no problem........

The day I reach such results will be time for a party, to push it straight back up again......:D
 
Di dont be too dispondent hun those numbers are still good, I would kill for under 7 these days hun.Agree with Northey you had alot of hypos in the last month or so, so at least we can pinpoint why they was a rise x
 
Sorry to hear you were disappointed Di, but it's still a pretty good number.

Hope you manage to knock a few off it next time.

Thanks for the reply's guys.

These results have made me feel physically sick and upset, I am so so disappointed.

While the house was being done, I didn't get out as much exercising and it has only been the last 3-4 weeks, that I have jumped back onto it again with a vengeance.

This will not beat me. I'm still cycling every weekend and now my toes are ok I will be running at least 3 times a week again.

So HbA1c and cholesterol you can have the V's and that is to me getting a victory over you.

Now I'm going to go and crawl into a corner and cry and then when I get home onto the treadmill I go!!

Thanks am - I'll be ok - onwards and upwards

worse of it is today, one of the guys came in this afternoon with cakes (he's just got married and we had a whip round) and he was saying to me please just one after I politely refused - i said to him you don't understand the consequences of just only one.

I've been saving myself for afternoon cream tea and scones on Saturday when we arrive in the cotswolds for my wedding anniversary weekend - now I'm on a downer dont think I should part take of a little naughty x

Promise I'm back on the exercise. Will be running tonight and tomorrow night and will try to squeeze one in on Friday. Cant cycle Sunday tho unless we take bikes to Cotswolds, but I can promise lots of walking.

Will that compensate xxx
 
As others have said, don't worry, it'll come good again. 🙂

And if it doesn't, Mr Thursday won't be pleased!
