Hi Folks,
One I wanted to run past you if I could?
Its along perhaps a similar thread re the more burned out mindset, and 4 years on from diagnosis, I can feel myself losing interest in the detailed level of care I once had, although my eye screening etc.. produces good results ad my hba1c is ok. I think its great that folks on here maintain a positive outlook towards their conditions, the diet & day to day challenges we all tackle in our own way, yet Ive somehow lost my mojo & 'zest' that I once had. Is there a mindset or key to feeling upbeat despite all?
Its strange and not a cry for help, but more of a realistic observation. The burnout/ground down feeling does make sense to me at this time, where I didnt quite understand why or how that could happen.
I recently went for an MRI at Sheffield private hospital, to ascertain the levels of visceral fat in my pancreas/liver (Im type 2, so figure that the loss of this would give me back function and give me something to work towards, I was excited at the prospect) although it turns out thankfully Im fat free and in good shape around my internal organs. This is good news yet frustrating as I had my focus set on this being the reason for it all, I feel quite confused & lost regarding my health, although in good health, I do eat well, and run, cycle etc.. being trim 6.1" and 14st, with a hba1c of 45 (was 143 when diagnosed)
Sorry for the barrage of info, Ive had this one treading water in my head for a while, Im unsure how best to make sense of it all, if there is any to be made. No changes in readings at the docs over the past year or so, just a strange one I cant put my fingers on and wanted to run it past you all if you get a moment please, as the combination of expertise, experience and genuine care on here is always something I find uplifting when stuck in a rut.
Have a great weekend everyone
