Diabetes


Greetings Everyone
My last HBA1C was literally OFF the chart. 13% being the max , mine was 14%.


I have been awaiting knee replacement surgery. My surgeon nearly broke 100m by running in the opposite direction from me. We have a Contract. That is to lose 20kilos, get my diabetes down to 9 in 3 months then he will operate within 14 days. I got an appointment for 7th July to see him face to face, I know it was to have a look at me physically. I cancelled it until August 26th. I have finally got down to doing some hard work , oh how I hate this dieting. It's impossible to exercise because of my knees so the problem is compounded.


I have set myself 800 calories a day which is officially starvation. I know not the healthiest but drastic times call for drastic measures. I had a Ribena addiction of 14 litres a week. That's 28oz of pure sugar. I was urinating 14-16 times a day. I am day 6 of seriousness, no Sugar drinks and my eating is more controlled and healthier. I do love my food. My pee is now reduced to 4-6 times a day. I have not taken a home reading, still too scared but my urinating tells me things must be improving. My battle goes on and a massive thank you to all you wonderful people. Makes a change going on a site other than that disgusting Facebook.


I hope with your help I can start to turn the tide. I plan a new HBA1C in 4 weeks. I already have the forms from the doctor.


My Goodness this Diabetes is a *****. I have some slight numbing in my toes but the feeling has improved in the last week. I would say about 70%. For the amount of self abuse I could be a lot lot worse and was definitely heading that way. I hope I have finally put the brakes on and moved the stick into reverse.
G-D bless
