Aww thanks Vicky, that means a lot coming from you. You're one of the butt kicking brigade along with @13lizanne @amgrundy @4ratbags @liam1955 and @debrasue. If it wasn't for the support I get from everyone here I would be in much worse shape!You are one strong lady @Diamum5972 . Your weight loss and bg achievements are outstanding.

Beautifully put, Anna. Arlene, I totally agree with what Anna has said. Big hugs @amgrundy
Thank you for your kind words Anna, and Debrasue, we just want to get tomorrow over with.
Good to hear you're OK Sian and I hope the new medication is helpful. Hugs x
Well, that sounds positive. If it's hormonal it should sort itself out in time, shouldn't it? Let's hope so, anyway. Big hugs x
Thinking about you, Arlene - let us know how it goes. Hugs xThank you for your kind words Anna, and Debrasue, we just want to get tomorrow over with.
Hi ickihun, you just sound like me, I am always thinking about others and how I can be of help. I think too this is what made me so run down at Christmas and diagnosed with this diabetes. I still think of others and try and help but the one thing I have changed is to try and put things in perspective and think of myself first, that's not being mean its being realistic, as if am ill again then there is none else to help. I try to be as relaxed as I can without feeling guilty anymore I know it isn't easy but you have to look after number one, my nanna always told me. She looked after everyone, but when I look back she did look after herself too.That's what we are here for -support.
I need my fair share, as you know.
I think it just feels a little bit easier once you've typed it out on here. Not so alone.
My sister and mum are flapping about my sister housemove today but I cannot carry them. I have enough on my own plate, which they never want to know about.
I used to always put people before me. No surprise my diabetes went que wiff.
Life is settling down after our horrific move from the South to the North with a baby, 7yr old and 2 cars. The 2 vans had to fit in a garage, spare room, loft and us all in one bedroom. Relocating to the correct property wasnt easy. We are enjoying our new home and im just starting to settle down - diabetic wise.
It does get better! Different problems but not so skint.
I feel guilty not being available for my sister but she has more support than i got with my horrific move.
They are younger than me for a start. No children or pets and no diabetes.
Her and her husband are in their mid 30s and act like my kids. Eat kids treats and need carrying in anything they do. I wonder when they will grow up?
My kids need me more today, they should understand that but no......
I'll help when i can. I always do. i cannot help myself.
Ive realised one thing if anything happens to my mum. My 2 sisters arent mature enough to be of any use. It will be up to me to do the serious stuff. They both will be faffing with the flowers.
Why does the middle child feel they have to be the glue in the family? Or is that just mine?
Now when I have something to worry about like my daughters biopsy tomorrow I try and keep myself busy. I tend to be with my grandchildren they take my mind off things.
Yes I will let you all know what happens tomorrow thank you . Its support like this that keeps our spirits up .
HI Diamum5972, gosh you have had your share of life`s problems too. big hugs.I know exactly what you mean Vicky, my older brother has severe memory problems and learning difficulties because of his epilepsy and DS and younger brother both have autism. You can imagine the chaos when my dad died suddenly after an accident! Mum had been diagnosed type 2 just 3 years before and was already registered blind so she wanted to help but couldn't! Dad was self employed, he had his own cleaning business so it was left up to me to sort things out with the Inland Revenue and the solicitors who were working on dad's probate! I think my head started spinning Exorcist style at one point
Aww thanks Arlene, hugs to you too xxHI Diamum5972, gosh you have had your share of life`s problems too. big hugs.
. Thank You for asking Mo. Think the trip out to Beningbrough Hall yesterday afternoon did it good, Never wore the strapping too and it never kept me awake, I think it is 'mending' well. You know I am a walking disaster - I banged my upper arm on the car door yesterday and the bruising that has come out is unbelievable this morning. (See attached picture)
