[QUOTE="Craigmartin, post: 2351097, member: 522978"] Hy everyone. I've not posted or read on here for awhile but just felt the urge to write down recent events and feelings. Was diagnosed April2020 T2. Got great help from here and really threw myself into low carb and getting my H1AC1 down from 121. Had really poor help from surgery and different advice from different Diabetic nurses. In all intents and purpose been left to deal with it on own. Was testing at home and learnt through trial and error what i could and could not tolerate. On 4 Sukkarto per day with only the odd day of stomach upset so settled down in that respect. Had 2 x 3 month tests and last one in September was 52 which whilst pleasing disappointed me as my readings suggested lower.. Fell off the wagon a bit and few bad habits crept back in. Think I'd lost "The Fear" i felt upon diagnosis. The surgery incompetence came to a head and i changed GP. Have a face to face appointment this Wednesday with Diabetic nurse but the difference in attitude just from speaking over the phone has given me the boot up the rear i needed. My readings are still between 7 and 8 upon waking but generally between 5 and 7 during the day. I know i have cut corners so its knuckle down time. Will post as get more info. Just wondering if others had similar lapses and have advice please. [/QUOTE]
