Hi all,
My name is Dave I have just joined this forum and would like to introduce myself, I am 63yrs old and was diagnosed with Diabetes 5yrs ago, I have controlled my Diabetes up untill now when I have let things slip with my Diet and lack of exercise, I am having problems sometimes remembering to take my medication so as I said I have let things slip, after a telling off from my wife and my 2children also my doctor I am determined to put my diabetes on the top of my priorities, so any help or advice from you all would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Dave
 
Hiya Dave and welcome to the forum.

I know what you mean about timing of meds and I find an alarmed and multi sectioned pill pot solved that problem for me. Also I have a cork board in the kitchen on the back wall that has to be passed many times during my day. On that board I pin notes to myself and appointment cards and haven't missed one since I put it up.
As for the rest, well, only you with your family's help can get to grips with that, but I do wish you well and hope to see you writing soon about how you have turned things around :thumbup:
 
Hi Hobs,

Thanks for your reply I'm so glad I am now a member of this Forum, thanks also for the tips which I will take on board.

Take care

Dave
 
Welcome to the forum :D I'm new too here, and new to the diabetes thing too.. Was diagnosed two months ago! I'm 31. Hopefully, we will all get into the swing of things eventually!
 
Hi Jaxx01, lovely to hear from you, yes I'm sure we will all get into the swing of things, at least we know we're not alone in this fight against Diabetes, we can all share our thoughts and share tips together.

Take care

Dave
 
Hi Dave

Welcome to the boards - haven't been a member long myself - but have found loads of useful information.

I have a terrible memory so I have to write everything down and set myself alarms on my mobile to actually remember to take my medication. I carry around a note-book and pen and would be lost without them.

Good luck for getting your diabetes back under control.

Karen
