We all have to find a way of eating that we can enjoy and keep our levels reasonable, quite often it's a compromise, we accept that our HbA1c will be a bit higher if we indulge in the occasional treat, but life is not a rehearsal, we only get one chance to enjoy it. You seem to be in fear of a higher HbA1c, when yours was 42, did anything bad happen? or did life just carry on as normal. Many of us have had HbA1c levels much higher than 42 and yet we are still here to tell the tale. I understand that you're feeling anxious, you're not alone, many people experience anxiety about their health.It's important to remember that anxiety can make us feel like the worst-case scenario is going to happen, but that doesn't mean it will. In fact most of the things we worry about never happen and if they do they are rarely as bad as we imagined.Our imagination is quite often far scarier than reality, focus on the present and things you can control, like eating a healthy diet, getting enough exercise and enjoying life.</blockquote>
