I was diagnosed just over a year ago. I had lost about 6 stone in about 4 months, had very high Ketones and hb1ac was off the doctors scale. After 6 months I had my next HB1Ac results and had got them down to 48. I was really proud untill I my doctor told me off about my weight. I had put 4 stone back on (yes I know a lot) I had been struggling with Hypo's (about 8 most days) and not understanding how to carb count was over eating to treat the hypos. I came away from the appointment in tears because the majority of the conversation was really rude about how i could have put on so much weight.
The last time I went to my GP about a chest infection I was told that I had to keep my eye on my cholesterol (which was in normal range, just on the higher side and had come down since I was diagnosed). I now don't really know what to concentrate on, I just can't focus on losing weight, keeping control of my diabetes and lowering my cholesterol.
At the moment I am putting off seeing my consultant as I just can't deal with being criticised at the moment. I know that I haven't lost any weight as my Mum died 4 months ago and what I had lost I have since put back on just due to comfort eating, and trying to make sure I don't go too low (emotion really messes up my BG).
On top of that my sister has just been diagnosed diabetic and I am her main support system, my partner has had to go into hospital twice with chest problems.
I know that this is not a healthy way of dealing with things but I know my HB1ac will be higher than my last one and just can't deal with another blow.
Sorry for the rant but just getting it all out has helped me feel a bit less like i am drowning.
Any advice would be really helpful, thanks
