When I was first diagnosed Type 2, 2 and a half years ago, my hba1c was through the roof, within 3 months using low carb and exercise it was down to 26, a year later, 25. Things were going well and I felt great, remission was on the cards and possibly coming of the Metformin. Sadly, shortly after that I had a motorcycle accident which rather curtailed the exercise program, fractured ankle and compartment syndrome in both thighs. A couple of months later I'd started exercising again when I partially detached my bicep. So an operation followed and then during the recovery phase, before I could start moving my arm I got a frozen shoulder.
I can now exercise again, the frozen shoulder is gone(mostly) but I've put on 3 stone and I have hypertension. I have been unable to stay on Low Carb (lack of will power with everything else going on). But it's proving very difficult. Sometimes I cycle part of the way to work (6 miles each way), occaisionally I go to the gym for an upper body workout but I'm having real trouble keeping to it consistently and getting back on low carb.
I'm putting this up here in the hope it will help with my motivation. I've started checking my levels again and so long as they mean something to me and I adjust my diet accordingly I ope to stay low carb again.
It's tough though, I lack the urgency I had last time and the sense of achievment I got si not htere yet, I knwo there will be a difficult time at the strat but if I can keep it up for a week or two it should get easier.
Thanks for listening.
