Dear All
Firstly thank you for all the helpful things when I was newly diagnosed and running sugard of 16 plus after leaving hospital.
Back at work. Vision is better, first eye photo was fine (Quite fascinating to look at), weigh is stable at 14 stone 3 which beats the 16 or 17 stone I was before, the replica millenium dome I used to call a "Belly" is gone.
My blood sugars still worry me though, even thouigh they seem very improved.7 day average is 5.7 on my meter 14 day 5.9 and 30 day 5.9 and sometimes I have been testing like it's going out of style, not just at the usual 4 times a day (Though Ive missed about three in 2 months).
In the mornings my sugars seem to go up from 6am from 4.9 sometimes to 8. I was having a few late snacks too many and if I stop eating after my last meal things improve.
Exercise is good, using arms drops them more than brisk walks by the way. Sometimes sugars have gone to 3.8 and less but I can deal with this.
I just still get really anxious about going high anything from 7 up really gets me down as I feel I should be more in control by now.
I am wining with weight , meals , monitoring and excercise but I still drink too much red wine (Although this doesn't seem to push sugars up but does drop them later) though I am getting on top of this too.
Some web-sites **** me off as they all seem to have different figures as to what is "Normal". Some say 5-8 mm0/L some say "Keep at 4.6", any additional views would be good.Some of these people seem to want you to become a 24/7 Diabetic obsessive I would just like to try and get on with things without putting myself in a bad space re this thing.
I am still really worried about failing at this HBA1c thing though and getting a high score./ Was discharged from hospital on 26th April and haven't had it yet and have been told by my excellent diabetes nurse that my control has seemed good. I just get really low if I ever feel thirsty, or want to pee more than normal, or my eyes feel a bit funny, or I get a spot or boil. Leads to silly thoughts that it's all going to start up again even thogh the meter tells me otherwise.
Hopeful;ly I will stop being such a pest after this post but 2 months post discharge, despite an optimistic start I can still get really low. I also find my memory is ****, I lose more things and find it hard to focus on loads of things at once, anyone else had this? If you can advise please let me know.
