I have started cycling again and doing more walking. It was strange as my Hba1c had been really well controlled even to my doctor saying I was his star, but then it really went off the rails, I have now been put on three medications for the control of my blood sugar, the only advantage we have during current pandemic controls is the family is back to cooking fresh meals as a rule as we are all at home.Welcome to the forum @Cookie4th
I think a lot of people have wobbles with their diabetes management, and the current circumstances are making this more difficult for some. For others, like you, it is giving them time and the motivation to start to get better control.
What strategies are you working on. Do come back with any questions that you have. There is plenty of experience to draw on here.
Hi I have been on three monthly reviews because of the Hba1c,Hello @Cookie4th and welcome to the forum.
There is a great deal of knowledge and friendship here, and I hope you enjoy joining us.
Hba1c going wayward is a situation many of us have experienced!
For me I usually find it is due to straying off my usual eating plan, usually combined with dropping the exercise as well is tis the cause, usually because of some stress situation.
What sort of things are you trying, to get back under control?
Personally I follow a low carb eating plan, as do many Type 2 forum members, but this isn't the answer for everyone.
If you want any particular information plans on eating plans, how to test Hba1c or anything else then let us know and we will give you some pointers.
Also the Learning Zone link at the top of this page has a lot of useful information
