Hey im Alex. I have been diabetic since i was 7 (now 24). My control was very good up until about a year ago when i started a new position at my place of work. Im on my feet all day and im running about like a lunatic, which is quite different from sitting behind a till all day.
At first i was just having hypos at work which was purely down to the amount of extra moving about i was doing. And then over the last 3 months they became worse and worse.
About 6 weeks ago i was rushed into hospital after being found in bed fitting. Luckily im fine now, no complications or anything which im very grateful for as it was really the first time i required any help. Previously i had never been admitted to hospital for any diabetic related things.
Since then i have been retaught all the carb counting stuff and it would appear that the tuition i was given about it when originally put on this regime was completely sub par. Since being in hospital i have visited my new best friend, the diabetic specialist nurse and she was really shocked at the difference in my blood sugars, and in how i looked in general. When i walked through her office door her mouth actually dropped. Iv lost weight, iv gained colour in my face, and i look abit more alive.
So anyway, Hello! and see you around
