Hi everyone and hopeing one of you can solve this mystery perhaps?
I went for my diabetic review yesterday, expecting to be disappointed if truthful, as I have slipped somewhat since December.
I sadly have a terminally ill close family member ... became ill suddenly ... so a tremendous shock which threw me off keel.
With all the worry and stress, it affected my sleep, general health and diet immensley, and although I did stay on my normal
foods during meals I was snacking on rubbish in between because of this restlessness of not being able to do anything to help him.
I gained 8lbs in weight too so began to feel anxious about the review.
Well to my complete amazement my usual A1c of 38 had only risen a little, to 40 so still remision and my cholesterol which last time was over 7
was down to 6.8. I do normally take Sterols for cholesterol (which had reduced it from the high 7's the previous year, but had even stopped taking those too since October when I had the bad family news given to me.
Is it that my body is coping well, having been in remission for three years do you think?
