Hi I'm new to this site although I visited some 2 1/2 years ago when newly diagnosed. After my diagnosis I took the meds followed the advice, I got my blood levels sorted and in a healthy range, my meds were lowered and my eating was under control. Then life happened and both my parents died after a long time of caring for both of them, both suffering with awful dementia. You'd have thought things would improve with my new freedom, but oh no, I ate and ate, all the wrong stuff, avoiding seeing my diabetic nurse, until 9 weeks ago when the diabetic nurse finally caught up with me (thank you Christine).
My BG was 33! my monitor quietly beep the words "Hi" to me as I stood dumbstruck! My meds were increased and slowly by 4 weeks my reading came down to 16, I was pleased that I had got them down to 16 (from 33) but had the wind taken out of my sails when my nurse started talking about injecting insulin. Shae gave me a fortnight to get my head around it. I had many tears and carried on with a Low carb diet and researched foods online, 2 best discoveries were cream vs milk and the seriously low carb bread (my saviour) By the time my nurse phoned me up again I was down to single figures (yay). The moment was wonderful upon telling her of these results but I was feeling sick at the thought of injecting myself. But Oh boy did I do a jig when she said carry on as I am and see her next February. Can't tell you how happy I am. I am back in control and lost an awful lot of weight, which was much needed.
So Hello to all of you out there and thank you for reading I hope it inspires just one person to hang on in and keep up the good work.......Happy Days.....albeit in lockdown 2.
