Hello all.
Diagnosed last May with hba1c of 9.2. Was very shocked at the time as I had none of the usual symptoms, ie excessive thirst and going to the loo regularly. I went to see the doctor because of extreme tiredness.
Anyway, was partly relieved because I now had a reason for how I was feeling but at the same time very angry at life becauce in the last 3 years have had one thing after the other.
Was doing quite well in watching my diet, last hba1c was 7. Doctor told me that she wanted my next test to be below 6.5.
Therein lies my problem. Just recently, I have started feeling very resentful over having to constantly watch my diet or eating something I know I shouldn't and then feeling very guilty afterwards.
I have to depend solely on diet and medication to bring my levels down as I am partially disabled and unable to exercise.
Can anyone offer any advice or cheer me up?
Many thanks
Mary
