Hi everyone,
Just thought I would message and give a brief update.
I have spent the last three months working on a deadline for work - today is it's final day. The impact generally has been huge, first was the huge amount of stress I felt which impacted negitively on the blood glucose readings, then as the time went on the readings did not fall and I began to really struggle to keep to the LCHF.
Consequences are I have gained 5kg over the last three months, stress levels have remained high and so has the impact on blood glucose levels - very frustrating.
Now hoping that as this evening is the deadline that tomorrow I may begin once again to get my life and my blood glucose levels back on track.
It all feels a bit like everything is against you at times when trying to get good control over blood glucose and diabetes.
I have never really managed to break the carbs cravings - I do not always find enough time to do enough exercise - Still after today I am hoping I can manage to get back on track. I am hoping for a lovely warm summer where I can manage to eat lots of salad and try to really get beyond carbs cravings and to lose more weight and not just the 5kg I have put back on.....
Thank you all for being there for me since my diagnosis and for the support you have sent to me by replying to my posts.
