Hey lovely old friends and potential new ones,
Was determined not to slink in quietly through the back door after vanishing so suddenly (and after making such a promising start!) a few months back. Have missed you all intensely but needed to settle some issues, come to terms with others and deal with yet more stuff before I felt able to return and contribute honestly and openly as I did before as part of an ongoing management strategy (gosh, that sounds SO formal...).
Life happens. And, it turns out, no matter your level of discipline and good intentions, it's easy to get knocked off your perch if you're not expecting it.
Still. Some 6 months after moving house (the proverbial knock from the last paragraph) and I find my head - and life - is in the right place to climb back up and start actively participating in this wonderful community as part of a renewed plan to actively manage my T2 and, thus, resume control of my health and life generally. I hope I can be of some use / entertainment occasionally.
It turns out, you lot are ludicrously good for my mental health <3
New DN and HbA1c results tomorrow. I'm calling it Day One (in spite of having been diagnosed June last year - everyone gets a do-over, right?) and aiming to start right back where I left off (with a few plot twists - see blog. Warning: a bit sweary and frank. Prolly not for the faint of heart).
Am very much looking forward to catching up with old friends and learning about newcomers, helping where I can and otherwise misbehaving just a little bit.
