[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2333457, member: 345386"] [USER=511317]@Reemap[/USER] - Had you not had a diagnosis, you wouldn't know about any of those changes. There must be many, many, many people out there whose health has slipped a bit in recent months. The view I take is that life is (hopefully!) a long journey, parts of which will be better than others. Provided we're doing the best we can, given the circumstances in our lives at any given time, then that's fair enough. Personally, my A1cs have been pretty steady since I got the hang of things, but that could change for me in a heartbeat. Nobody knows what's around the fire, but when the nasty stuff (in whatever form) comes our way, we just have to cope the best we can. If you can identify things you can change up, to improve upon some of those numbers (which you seem to have done), you're on to a winner. If things are tough right now, don't tackle it all at once, tackle it in stages. Change what you can today and create a lifestyle To-Do list - maybe with a stepped target timeframe, but don't be too brutal on yourself. 6.7% isn't ideal, but it could be a lot worse. Maybe your first longer term target could be just to get your next A1c down to your July numbers and take it from there. [/QUOTE]
