Even my disappointment with my increased hba1c count is another case of logic versus emotion.
Was it reasonable not to expect a worsening of Hba1c when starting from a 133 position and reducing medication by over 40%.
I know that any doctor would be happy with my latest hba1c and lipid counts. Objectively they are very good, maybe even excellent.
Yet I do feel disappointed with them.
My eyes are seeing 138 where I saw 133 last time and it seems that the visual stimulus has I direct link to my emotions that bypasses my brain.
But I do trust my brain more.
Maybe the reason I am disappointed is because to quote @miked, I am still trying to reach the finishing line. I am still, even after five years with this disease, trying to win the i winnable war.
But if I have not won the war, I have not lost it either.
I am still here!
The sun is out.
There is a blue sky above.
And I am still here.
And I am still healthy.
And I am still fighting.
