Happy birthdayMe too! And it’s my Birthday today.

You have come a long way since then.
But most importantly be kind to yourself.
I know!!! - Thanks for the recognition @VashtiB . What is weird is that 8 and then that 4.1 . Your observation:Wow! that is such a great result- wonderful.
Is this something that happens, with this drastic swing? Have others noted this? I’ve just become so conditioned in remaining, existing in the Land of the Sticky-Sixes, that this 4.1 had come from nowhere. This morning I’m back at 6.3 .maybe your insulin resistance has reduced.
Thank you @VashtiB, yes bobbing around in the Sticky Sixes isn’t much fun, but having this drop kinda makes up for it. My portions are much smaller and I’ve sustained my weight loss post-COVID19.Congratulations !!!!
Excellent work! And just the kind of statement you probably never thought you'd make when you strolled in here. Very proud of you.I guess what I'm saying is that I am in control and have benefitted from my approach and have strategies to cope and succeed.

Aw man! I missed out my BIG THANKS to all, @VashtiB, yes you especially, here that gave and still do give support, at a point when I really felt I was doomed, yes doomed - I had the Diabetic-Dooms!It is amazing what we can achieve with some information and encouragement- well done!
You are a stunning person, JK, really you are! And you’re totally correct: I had the Diab-Dooms, and some. Here’s the thing, I felt guilty for being a Diab, I felt I had no hope, I felt embarrassed to admit this to family and friends - but not here. Here I felt accepted, wanted and creatively available to make sense of this Diabetes. I’ve met some astonishing people and had a larf or two along the way. Exo Forum, I now know of five of my long term chums who are Diabs and, quite frankly, the extended family don’t need to be further shackled by the knowledge of my condition, they’ve got enough to be getting on with. And again, here I also feel safe, yes safe. @JoKalsbeek, from the start you’ve shown me nothing but tolerance and acceptance, whipped-up with evidenced based results, a really heady mixture, with a Cherry on top too!And just the kind of statement you probably never thought you'd make when you strolled in here.

Oh go on, you. (I'm not crying, nope...).You are a stunning person, JK, really you are! And you’re totally correct: I had the Diab-Dooms, and some.
