Hey guys,
It's been quite a while since I last posted. The last time I was here I think I'd lost about 6st. My Type 2 Diabetes was in remission and while I yet didn't feel any better about myself I was able to come off of my medication . I was managing to do things quite well for a while but then it all fell apart. I went out for a meal with family, pre pandemic and for the first time in a very long time I ate some chips with my meal. Well it was probably the best tasting thing I'd ever had, I actually dreamed about chips several times and it all went downhill from there.
So lets see, I'm up to 32st at the moment. Not the 36st I was when I first started my diabetic journey but still much heavier than the 27st 4lbs I got to. My latest blood test showed me at 56, up from 52 the last time I was tested. So while not atrocious I'm still disgusted with myself.
My mobility is no way improved, I suffered an horrific leg injury in 2018 and have been pretty much house bound since, and I've now also got low testosterone. On the plus side I should be getting surgery next year to remove the metal work as they think that is what's causing a lot of my issues.
So with all that in mind, I'm back! Some of you guys really helped me last time and got me through some tough times and so I'm hoping for that support again.
To make things a little more complicated I tend to avoid vegetables. This isn't because I don't like the taste only I seem to have a lot of intolerance and most either upset my stomach or make me sick or nauseous for hours after eating them.
I don't check my blood sugars, while I'm not needle phobic I do have a full blown phobia of needles etc in my finger tips, this stems from having calcium finger prick tests done as as child.
Anyway, I hope to chat with you guys soon and be a member of the community again.
