Just a bit of a positive story from me this weekend. I was meaning to try and climb a famous mountain in Ireland for a long time, but decided it was something I wanted to aim for after diagnosis.
Didn't think I would get it done so soon after being in Intensive Care with DKA on diagnosis, but my good friend asked me would I give it a go yesterday and we headed off early. I found it incredibly difficult, thinking of quitting nearly half way up, but thanks to some pure thickness in me and my friend pushing me on, I made it. Managed it on no carbs in the morning, but 7 jelly babies along the way...!
Very proud of myself to get this done in 5 months. Probed to myself I don't give up. Hopefully it gives some of you a confidence boost.
