I have had my annual check this morning, my previous hba1c was 80 the time before that 90 and so on... For years I have struggled to control my diabetes. For the last six months I have stuck rigidly to DAFNE and while it has been a struggle at times, today for the first time ever I was greeted by a smiling consultant who asked "what have you been doing?"
