[QUOTE="IronLioness, post: 1994086, member: 492004"] Spot on, Numan, I completely relate to you. I love what you've done to change your lifestyle. Do you feel better for it now? What the doc said really shook me up. Literally the day after diagnosis I booked the day off of work - because my mind was in overtime from overthinking all the bad stuff we read online about diabetes WAY too much. But, it was 'the moment' I knew I needed to sort my life out - my work/life balance was so far out of whack....definitely a contributing factor to the diagnosis. I was getting up at 4am, commuting, and not getting home until after 8pm, wolfing down whatever I could find to fit my daytime schedule for the project, super stressed/anxiety, then finding whatever I could to eat when I got home, and working on 5hrs sleep for 6mths with only weekends for exercise, and sometimes it honestly just didn't happen. Not good. I just re-evaluated everything. Then I went radical - I explained things to my works and luckily was able to change my contract to work from home, but I was prepared to leave and find a new job closer to home to get my life back on track. It's made such a huge difference, to everything, especially managing the diabetes - I just sorted out my stress/anxiety, nutrition and general lifestyle and wellbeing. Had to go hardcore and put myself first, which was difficult - I'm so used to 'work mode'. I go for my official first HBA1C next week. I'll share my results :-) [/QUOTE]
