So I’ve been diabetic for a good 15 years now (since I was ten). I don’t consciously not take my blood tests but over the years they’ve become less and less, I think mostly to my previous job (made it very difficult, constantly pulled in office questioned why taking more ‘breaks’ whe’ hypo, long 12 hours shifts would have to purposely be on higher side so didn’t go low) as well as this I do think I had some denial and burnout anyway.. I have very good sense of when I’m high or low and just take a shot of insulin or correct with sugar as I feel.. it’s terrible and no control I know! I’ve had a massive wake up call since starting my new job, my hba1c is 109, I’m ‘young’ but feel exhausted, my results also showing 5.2 protein in my urine. I feel like this is really it for me now if I don’t take control I’m going to always be this way and have awful complications.. has anyone else been here? Any tips how to get back into good habits?
