Hi all!
New to the forum so figured I’d make a first post to motivate myself.

I have been extremely burnt out by my diabetes for the past 5 years and have taken little to no care, testing monthly - if that.

My hba1c is currently 127.
My set myself a challenge to see how much I could improve this within 6 weeks, then 12.

Before, it was rare to see anything but “HI” on my meter.
For the past 2 weeks, my readings are averaging at 7.1 and I haven’t gone higher than 9/10mmol

Blood test due next month so I will keep you updated!
:)

Not being able to eat as many chocolate digestives as I used to.

Hi @HennizTuzme ,

Welcome to the forums,

Come back here and post on your progress more often, it will help you with the motivational side of it.

I see you've been T1 for a while but have a good look around the forums, and don't forget the information pages on the front end of the website, - there's a wealth of diabetes related info in there.

Good luck buddy,
