Hello i'm still around

Hi all, just to let you all know i'm still around. My wifes cancer treatment went really well and everything is looking very positive:D:D. I, on the other hand, am struggling at present, although she doesn't know about it. I've gone from having permanantly high BG levels to having lots of unexplained hypo's (lowest 1.9, very scary i'll tell you!!:confused::confused:.) I just can't seem to keep control at present one way or the other but as long as she's ok i'm not that bothered about myself. We've just had a lovely holiday abroad and i've booked another for about 3 weeks away (cost me an arm and a leg but not bothered as long as she enjoys herself, she deserves it so much). Anyway i've not come looking for any sympathy just letting you all know that I haven't fell off the radar!!!

Best wishes to you all and take care!!!!!!

Hazey
 
Hi Hazey - good to hear that your wife's treatment has gone well. You can start to look forward rather than taking one day at a time.

I wonder if the worry over your wife's treatment may have increased your Blood Sugars and now that you can see an end in sight - the stress levels have dropped and your insulin requirements have also dropped (as many stress hormones have an anti insulin effect).

Take good care of yourself and your wife.
 
Hi Hazey, so pleased to hear that your wife's treatment has gone so well, and it's great to hear from you again 🙂

Have you discussed your hypo problems with your DSN? Margie may be onto something with the stress - it always increases my levels, and if you're under long term stress and get used to treating that then it's not surprising if things do an about-turn when things improve for you. I hope you can get things back to steadier levels soon, and make sure you are well-prepared to deal with those hypos in the meantime. I hope you have a terrific holiday, and remember we are here to help if you need us. You need to stay strong and healthy for your wife, if not for yourself, so make sure yo look after yourself! 🙂

Hi Hazey and Harry lovely to hear from you both x
 
I'm still around. More of a reader these days than anything else. Unless there's a good drinking session involved that is...
