I am two years and seven months into my diabetic journey, and have lost two stone over that time,
bringing my weight to normal levels for my height, and putting my medication (Metformin) to only one
per day over the last year. I feel well, eat low carb, and rarely experience my only ever diabetic symptom of
tingling fingertips.
However, I lost my lovely Mum two months ago, very suddenly, and as I was her main carer for four years, it is taking a while to come to terms with her not being there for me to look after every day.
I have a birthday coming up on Monday (6th) and I feel that I need a lift, so wish to have a little birthday tea with my daughter (still at home) ... but what can I have to feel a bit 'special' for one day, instead of feeling so sad?
My daughter suggests a birthday cake ... just a little one ... but would that be silly?
What do others do on their birthday, or other celebration?
I do so want a day that is different and I am not going out anywhere so a little special tea would be so nice
