Ok here is my first post, and I gota say I am really not taking this diabetes thing seriously, tonight one of our kids went to the sweet shop, I had a bag of jellys, a snickers bar, can of cream soda (full fat) and a few ciggys, I need to wake up from this attitude that I will be ok because deep down I know I am being a fool.
I've been a type one, 4 stabs a day person for 4 years now, I am 33, 16 stone and size 9 feet!, Great when it comes to injections but I am tending to think if I keep them regular and never miss one I will be ok, another thing I know deep down is c*ap.
I think I have come to a crossroads in my mind that if i don't change I am going to start to see some of these bad things that you read about.....I need a plan, a mindset to get me in line......any ideas?
I think I have not been accepting that I have this problem because all my life I have lead a sporty exsistance and diabetes feels alien still along with that nagging question....why me?
I have also 3 years prior to being diagnosed with diabetes I had a biopsy on my liver and was found to have a low liver count, so I cut out drinking and now I have it at a normal level again, I have the odd night out but have cut down drinking 99.9%.
So I am right in thinking, even if I want a drink I shouldn't on two fronts, so what could I have when I am out, I find this a hugh problem.
Thats part of my story anyway, I look forward to your comments good bad or whatever
but I will be back soon to see if I can contribute to these forums and take a good old fashioned kick up the backside.
