hi all,
I don't use the forum much I just occasionally come on when I'm in need of advice! So here's my issue.
A year ago I did a carb counting course as my a1c was around 8.5. I've had major (and I mean major) anxiety over the past year about my diabetes. About going low about complication about what's gonna happen in my future if I'm gonna see my daughter grow up have more kids etc. ive sort of dedicated the last year to fixing my sugars I keep a detailed diary and see my nurse once a month. I've slowly been making changes in the right direction food wise and with routine and my last a1c was 6.8. Now my nurse was really pleased with this and doesn't want me to lower it anymore but as its my health/life that's at risk I feel I can lower it further I'm just not sure how!! I've been put forward for an assessment on the pump because of my anxiety but I don't think Theyll give me one. So in the mean time can anyone give me any advice on little habits that help you daily with keeping your sugars down?
i don't know any other diabetics so I'm curious how a well controlled diabetic lives their life!
I've also been looking into local help and support as I get none at all from family or friends but there's nothing out there. I feel really alone and scared with it all!
