Need to boast. (Normally I create threads on which to whinge, so indulge me here!
)
After a week of terrible blood glucose levels I was feeling confused and down about my diabetes.
Had my first consultant appointment today since going on the pump and actually came away feeling very happy and positive about it all.
HBA1C has come down to 6.9%. I am totally over the moon as it is YEARS since it has been this good. I'm so delighted!
They were delighted to see I'd done basal testing and lots of day to day testing, recording everything, and were able to see trends that I felt a bit lost looking for myself. They explained them to me and where they were making adjustments and why. So obvious when they explain it to me, but sometimes I feel lost in a sea of numbers when I'm looking at them myself. They also reminded me that I can pick up the phone at any time to talk to them about my figures if I feel there are any issues.
Feel so much happier this evening and finally feel the effort I put in is paying off thanks to getting the pump and of course a fab diabetic team at the hospital.
