Type 1'stars R Us

I sympathise @SueJB I have struggled this last year.
My problems have been high sugars very slow to fall. I’m trying not to worry about it as my TIR is still above Seventy, but the HbA1c has been creeping up. And for the first time in fourteen years some weight has crept on.
To be fair I know why, having been under enormous stress with parents-one death the other in a care home with dementia, and clearing their house to put on the market. In eight weeks there has not been one person to see the house and my mother has got huge anxiety issues which have involved me in all sorts of ways. My eating has therefore being very erratic and not as low carb as I would like. Stress is undoubtedly the underlying cause of it all.
Next week we are away and on return I am determined to have a reset and concentrate more on me and get myself back on track. I have also applied for some counselling as I have been dealing with parents now for nearly five years and it has definitely taken its toll.
So sorry @becca59 to hear about your parents it really makes me realise , despite everything, how lucky I am. I hope you're going somewhere relaxing to revitalise. I found Lindisfarne a wonderful retreat. Lots of lovely walks
 
Off to Berwick @SueJB and can see Lindisfarne from two of the walks, weather permitting, we shall do.
We loved walking the walls in Berwick and wedid a boat trip to see the seals....only one and it was bitterly cold.. the weather not the seal
