HI all,
It's exactly a year to the day that I was diagnosed with Type 1. I am 39 years old and life was going well till I feel ill last year.
Being diagnosed type 1 was one hell of a shock for me but over time I have got used to it and now it's not an issue.
My HB1AC back in March this year was 7.9%, Sept it went up to 8.3% ( i could not get my levels down for love or money - my diabetic team changed me insulin to Novarapid and Levimer), Dec it went down to 7.8%, so looks like it's heading in the right direction.
I start my Carb counting course early next year, so that should help me out hugely.
The only issue I have is my feet... Prior to being diagnosed I was suffering from Policemans Heel (as I did a huge amount of working for work).. I saw a podiatrist and he said that there was nothing wrong!
I still suffer from tingling pain in my big toe on my right foot with a shoting pain in my heel and again tingling pain in my toes on my left foot.. Does any one else suffer with this?
Apart from that all is good in my life, well apart from missing my beloved lager!
Oh well there are some sacrifices we have to make.
Cheers all.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all.
Andy
