It's a new start. Please be kind to yourself we all make mistakes and have regrets. XHi, I’m Michelle (chelle) type 1 for 27 years maybe more? That I didn’t know I had.
4 injections a day and more if need a correction.
So I rebelled and hated being diabetic type 1 for years and years and abused my body. Didn’t listen to anyone.
Untill 2018 and 2019 I had kidney failure and was admitted into hospital in a coma (I was told) so came out with, nerve damage in my feet and legs, hands, scare on my kidney and I’ve had to have my right eye lasered once, left eye now 3 times as the damage is STILL, coming out.
Oh my hcb1 was 130! Now I’ve got it down to 62! Still some way to go.
My only regret is NOT looking after myself all them years
You are doing brlliantly. Please don't be discouraged if your levels go out of range. (I'm still learning after 53 years of it),I am a type 1 since boxing day, ended up in hospital and was well on the way to ketoacidosis. Amazing hospital out within 48hrs. Got a handle on this bumming along at 5.4 mmol
