Just wanted to say thanks for all the help that you have all given me.
I got diagnosed about 3 months before the wedding out of the blue and was on here non stop asking about how to cope with alcohol and the hen night.
Well just thought I would update you all to say that the wedding went really well we had the only sunny day of August and although it was bl**dy hard work injecting the night time levemir into my stomach under the wedding dress and having to eat a ham sandwich on the way to the reception in order to have champagne it was a small part of the day !
Oh I just remembered the night before I went out for dinner took my insulin and then couldn't eat as I felt so nervous - cue big worrying.
Honeymoon was also great - thanks for all the reminders about the 'physical activity' I only had one small blip when I went low and didn't realise the started panicing about how far away a hospital would be and whether they would actually know what diabetes was as lots of locals didn't. On the up side I took advantage of it and eat a chocolate cake they had made us that I couldn't eat previously. Spent the rest of the honemoon higher than normal but it was the lesser of 2 evils really. Well sort of ....
So my husband really has done the in sickness and in health part now and I have survived which is the main thing.
Thanks again for all your help it has kept me sane (well that is a matter of opinion)
Now on to the next challenge .....
