Hi all, hope everyone is well! I would like to firstly thank everyone on here for help and support over the last year it's really helped me take on diabetes and live a normal life as before.
Come last Thursday (dead on a year) I have found it extremely difficult to keep my levels under 12mmol. I may have had quite a long honeymoon period and suddenly stopped, I was at a ration of about 15 carbs to 1 unit prior now I'm looking at easily around 5 carbs to 1 unit within about 4 days. I have got a cold at the moment and not sure if this is contributing to this.
My last diabetic appointment was over 9 months ago, the hospital did say they would contact me after 6 months. I wasn't sure if this was if I had any "major problems" so didn't want to ring to cause a fuss over nothing. Am I supposed to keep up these yearly checks as a procedure? I realise the eye/foot clinic is one too keep on top of.
I was told I was being to strict on my body when visiting before and give myself a bit of leeway as I become very obsessed with having bloods at 5 but o think the honeymoon period give me that help to keep good levels. I'm starting to feel a bit lost with it all again to be honest and feeling a bit rubbish! (Although I guess having a cold isn't helping)
Thanks again everyone and I appreciate taking the time to read this
