Hi all
It's been over a year since I last posted here,sorry I've been out of touch. I guess the good side of that is that I've been finding diabetes easier to live with. Alas of late I've been finding it all getting on top of me again so I've come crawling back for some forum-love like the proverbial prodigal daughter.

It's been five years since i was diagnosed, and on a good day I'm all "Yay! Five years! And still not on insulin, unlike they promised on the DESMOND course. Go me!" Unfortunately today has not been a good day....was feeling crappy at work at about 6 pm and decided to use the last test strip in my possession to find out why and....15!!! Cripes, I had a couple of biscuits, two hours earlier that I would have otherwise eaten at lunchtime (I didn't coz I was trying to get back onto the WW wagon at lunchtime, the fact that I'd fallen off that hadn't improved my mood any...) and there it goes, off into the stratosphere. What does it do when I'm not looking or feeling like I really aught to be good?

So, five years, about a stone lighter but it still gets me down from time to time.
 
Hi rach,
Lovely to hear from you sorry you have been having a rough time of late, but hay you've come back on here so lots of support and hugs coming your way x x
I've been diagnosed about the same time as you and yeah it's tough some days I don't wanna get outta bed for heavens sake,but life's to short so you gotta pick yourself up and carry on,keep going and take all the help and support you can,this place is a good as place as any to start, so don't be a stranger anymore.


(((((((Hugs)))))))
 
I knew i could rely on you Steff! Whatever happens I should know you and Northy would be on hand to sort me out!🙂 Lovely to hear from you again.
 
Great to hear from you again Rachel 🙂 Sorry to hear that you've been having some ups and downs, but you should also be proud of the work you have put in to make DESMOND look a bit foolish with his claims! No-one can be perfect with this - not even me (it's true!). I have times when I am feeling fed up with it all and things do suffer as a consequence, but I then get fed up with feeling fed up and remember how much better I feel when I am good!

Hope you feel stronger soon, and welcome back 🙂
 
Hello Rachel and welcome back 🙂
