[QUOTE="Mad76, post: 2210081, member: 505154"] Hi all, Looking for some advice , reassurance, others experiences, as I'm getting quite anxious about things. Briefly, I was diagnosed type 1 in April 2019 after misdiagnosis of type 2 and a really bad DKA. When diagnosed my hbac1 was 130 In August saw consultant for first time. Hbac1 was down to 46. I was over the moon. Consultant happy. Etc. Seemed all good Since then I've struggled. According to my libre and glimp app my hbac1 has gone up to 55. I can believe that because my sugars are up and down Feeling pretty disappointed and deflated. Feels like failure. But I think the initial hbac1 of 46 was because after I was first diagnosed and got so Ill I barely ate many carbs. Anyway that wasnt any way to live for me. It was awful. The consultant really encouraged me but said I can eat what I want really as long as I get the insulin right. Clearly this hasnt happened. So really my questions are, how bad is going from 44 to 55 ?? And anyone have any experiences to share that might cheer me up/ motivate me?? Thanks in advance always [/QUOTE]
