Sorry

Between my own chores and jobs I have been chasing around after elderly parents -- who are doing their best to drive me round the twist -- they live 35 mile from me but it may as well be 2 for the late night requests to nip over and run them in to town !!! or hop in the attic to get something down -- no time for my self at all it seems -- weeks and months are disappearing at a massive rate -- Oh and I have killed yet another computer -- windows update destroyed windows!"!! not sure how that one work -- hope to have it back some time next month---- have fun -- happy xmas and new year if I do not get a chance to log on before

 

[Northerner]

Happy Christmas Andrew, nice to hear from you again 🙂 I hope that you are managing well with your levels, despite all the rushing around! Take care 🙂

Hi guys, first week back on track, sugar down from 11/14 in morning down to 7/8, also lost 3 pounds in weight, it's not easy as you all know especially this time of the year but want to stick with it, or should I say GOT to stick with it, next step want to get more exercise into my routine, busy time of the year now as I am working every day now till Xmas eve. Great to come on here and read how you guys cope with one thing or another, keep up the good work.

Good to hear Pete - things do become easier once you get into the habit and start feeling the benefits! 🙂

Hello my lovelies, Sorry not been on here for a month or so its been full on. I've been on holiday (had a lovely cruise with parents on hand to help look after bubba) Bliss!! Since then just day to day life of juggling my business/baby/house/family/voluntary work. I lurk a bit and will chip in as often as I can. You've always made me feel so welcome and supported. I like to try and extend that to others on here when I can. I'm coming to New Forest meet in August! 🙂. I'm constantly tired but all is going ok. Apart from still struggling with basal/bolus regime on my own and hospital never received my GP referral I found out last week when I chased them-so the waiting continues!

Lovely to hear from you - glad to hear you had a good holiday 🙂 Sorry to hear that your referral didn't go through, you really need that to happen - keep on the case! 🙂

I look forward to seeing you again in August 🙂 If you can wangle it, we are having another meet in London in July! 🙂

Hi Alan and Steff, I hope you are both well, yes, I'm still out here amongst the living (just), I'm still lurking while waiting to go into hospital again. 😛
Amazing, I finally come to terms with the D and get it under control by behaving myself and my heart starts acting up. 🙄
I'm just waiting for word from the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Glasgow to find out when I've to get a CT Scan of my heart (at least I think that's what it is), it was explained to me as a high resolution scan which will give them the answers to what's wrong with my heart, basically they are going to see if I need another stent, a repair to the existing one or, if I need a by-pass or 2,3 or 4, this time, because I have been struggling when under any sort of pressure lately (emotional or physical) so, fingers crossed.
In the mean time I'm taking loads of tablets to try to help keep me on the planet until I get the diagnoses and whichever operation I need. The good thing is at least they found out about the problem and I am on course to get it sorted.
Sorry to dump my whoa's on you guys, but the good thing about this forum is all the support you give, it really helps.
All the best everyone regards, Jimbo. 😉

Hello Everyone, Have not posted as things have been going ok. First HbA1c result in March was 6.1, next test due in a few weeks. Still losing weight (nearly 4 stone since the start of the year)
Regularly read what has been posted, and learn from it, but don't feel qualified to respond to questions as I was only diagnosed at the start of the year.
