fed up , not doing well

Very proud, I think yes I have 40 odd more years of this , but at least im giving myself the best chance at another 40 years !!!! I was as high as I kite and couldn't stop smiling !!!!!
 
what I did accept is that what I eat will kill me !!! I'm about to turn 40 in January 2015 and have 3 wonderful children and , like I said to my ex I want to be able to see my 80th Birthday with sight and be walking and not have any complications from diabetes !!!!! It will be a struggle at times, im not stupid !!! I know the risks and complications of not controlling this early !!! But I know now how to change and what the positives come out of changing for the better are compared to not, and I want to be as healthy as I can for as long as I can !!!! and that my friends is for decades not weeks or months !!!
Bloody marvellous , keep,at it , you,must be very very proud.
 
hi its been afew weeks since been on this thread, time to be proud and motivated !!!! I got my 6 month HBA1c result ...... wait for it ........ 37 !!!!!!!!!!!!! the diabetes nurse I see regularly as I said before was expecting 77 !!!! I did better than that !!!! 37 !!!! I was walking on air that day, my cholesterol although didn't know what it was in feb when diagnosed is now 4 !!!! presume that is excellent !!! and my average on blood sugar !!! 5 !!!! now im chuffed because a - im a comfort eater and trying to change my ways, b - because I was diagnosed in feb 2014 , c - I feel a failure in everything I do !!!! I feel this is the start of good things, im on a cross trainer everyday, bought it last Saturday and have been on it every day since, even for a few minutes but, I have already lost inches off my waist and lost weight too, im feeling extremely positive about life, I don't fell I will permanently fall off the wagon, because the results have proved I can make changes that will improve my health, so im sticking with it, I know I will have bad days but I know I can change !!!
That is fantastic. Wow - Keep it up and I hope your DN gave you lots of encouragement. We certainly will.
