[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 1788826, member: 456748"] I wanted to reiterate that what you are doing so far is great in taking control of your blood sugars and also in acknowledging the stress and how it is all interrelated. And those are lovely results - I still get excited when I see something in the 5s... and I already managed to get down to 48 from similar numbers to your starting HBA1c! I agree on finding the 'me' time and am with you that sometimes the things that are meant to relax have the opposite effect. I am severely deaf, which has been progressive for 15 years now, and hence any kind of guided something that involves listening to things - soothing music, exercise classes, spoken relaxation techniques - fill me with panic. But working in the garden, jogging (to use the term loosely), reading all seem to make life calmer. It's finding what works for you. It is all a work in progress and we do all still have our off days. I regularly wish I could hear properly. I also wish I could have eaten the kids' Cookie Dough ice cream that I gave them last night. Ah well... [/QUOTE]
