1st thread

This is the second time I'm writing this, the screen just shut down. So I'll start again. So I have had diabetes for years now. I know there is a Newcastle study about 600 calories, by Prof. Taylor and I just wanted to know whether it worked for anyone for reversal?
I feel saddened whenever I realize it's a lifelong condition. What I cannot change I need to accept. I managed with my neighbours and any of the older generations I know suffering from it. But I had sort of just wanted to have a conversation at some point in life without diabetes and gone into avoidance, anyway it's the past. I do get upset, it's isolating when other young people who are healthy might not understand. During the lockdown, I had read the Jenny Uglow book, on the lunar men, and it had gone into some information on Wedgewood's experience. My own grandparents have it. And sadly my grandfather passed away recently, if you are reading this please don't personalize, hopefully, nothing of that sort will happen to your family. particularly if you'r anxious. It is a coincidence. My grandfather was 84 and had been suffering with it a long time, he had lived his life, managed to see one great-grandchild.

If anyone has been a long term diabetic has this site helped you? Is it still possible to do a high intensive job with the disease?

well I felt I wanted to get the disease, so I got what I wanted.

Thank you for the responses, I meant the job area being in research, although I think I do feel that I have , if feels management of the disease takes over a lot, It feels overwhelming, It's not easy, I guess it might help to not be alone in this. I think it's p, the lowest my blood sugar has been is 55 and the highest when I just chose to ignore was 135 at the moment with covid it it has creeped up to 70. I used to have 3 month readings and went 6 month readings, that might be why, I do have a home blood glucose reader, though I understand it's not the same set of readings as the following. I found this website quite helpful to know as guide where I should be. I found a guide helpful hhtp://baspath.co.uk/Hba1c_table.pdf got confused with the different types of tests reading. Whilst it's good to know where it should be. I hope this site helps. particularly when sometimes I sometimes want to just feel it's not there. It's good to have a community, particularly sometimes making more mobile. wouldn't really understand. For me personally one bad news after another, past 10 years, yet it is the past. it is a long time, it probably is overmagnifying, and having the tools to manage. I get the feeling I might be overexaggerating the emotions involved, but I am going to be kind to myself inroder not to go into avoidance of taking control. Initially without diabetes the low carb thing worked. I had lost weight. So hopefully it will help.
