Hi Lucy, yes I'm still alive, I still drop in and read most days, you guys keep me going but, I have been too ashamed to post because my weight is increasing. This, despite walking and now doing weights to try and stay off of the damned food! I am totally skunnered to put it politely, 'cos I can't figure out where I'm going wrong 😱
I finally managed to get a hbA1c reading from the DSN which although not great was going down (albeit only 0.1 point) but it's heading in the right direction again. It's sitting at 7.0 dead.
I am just so fed up. After all the hard work I am not as far forward as I had hoped I would be. :(
I'll make the effort to post more often guys, all the best. Jimbo.

Hi Jimbo,
I was wondering where you had gone. Dont feel ashamed to post - this is a support forum - nobody here will judge you or make you feel bad. The hba1c isnt bad at all - lots of people would be happy with this so try not to let it get you down too much. I am glad you are still reading - and dont be a stranger - come in and say hello now and again if you dont feel like contributing. Hope you start to feel better soon and the depression lifts.🙂Bev
 
I'm here but feeling on a downer. Health OK but can't seem to get on top of things. Week before I went on holiday 'puter went up the creek , got chap in to sort it out. He took it away and I told him no rush as I was going to Scotland for a month. Didn't take in all he was saying , head full of packing etc . Had a great holiday,then 'puter came back a day later. Upgraded to Windows 7 and I hate it. I loved my XP, so easy.Now it's like learning all over again and so time consuming. All my pictures are all over the place and takes me twice as long to find the one I'm looking for where as I used to find it in a trice. Sorry I'm moaning. I seem to be forever on the go and I don't want to be . I just want to do my own thing really but pend most of the time doing for others. I'm supposed to be retired for goodness sake. The feet up and chill out bit has passed my by I think.

Hi Middlethru,

Sorry your feeling down - but glad you came on to say hello. I know what you mean about Windows 7 - when I first got my lap-top I just couldnt get used to it and nearly took it back to change it for the old Vista - but I am glad I stayed with it as it is a lot quicker and I got used to it very quickly - I am sure you will be fine once you get the hang of it.🙂Bev

Thanks Bev for encouragement re Windows 7. I'll stick it out and succeed.


beanz , sorry to hear you have had such a lousy time lately. Makes my lttle moan fade away. Take care and all good wishes to you. I hope that 2011 will bring you lots of good health and happiness with a good measure of wealth thrown in.
 
Still around! Been busy, and it's a difficult time of year - just buried the boy's ashes in time for what would have been his 21st, on 24th. His friends raised money for a bench in his memory, which was very touching too. Determined to be positive at the same time - having a good Christmas in other ways - lovely to see my other children and grandchildren and spend time with them.

Sorry to hear you're feeling low Tez - hope the new year sees you feeling better. Sorry to hear your news too BeanZ.

Will try and log on more in the New year - nice to see so many of you are still around 🙂
