[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 1965486, member: 493719"] Stealing the moment while i still can....:D and trying to be serious for a minute. My mood HAS honestly been off, and i couldn't work out why. But i think i may have worked it out today, in my own little way. When diagnosed, it was a shock, life was turned upside down, you all know the score. then i found salvation, in you lot. a bunch of renegades ..all on the run from the 'health' police. fighting your way through a jungle of lies, statistics and misinformation, where danger lurks at every turn. And i finally found a had a place of safety. Where i could catch my breath, take stock of the situation, seek wise counsel,,and format a survival strategy. And mine was to listen, experiment and do whatever it took, to get to january for my HBA1c, and bring that sucker down from the high 50's And i did...so i should have been ecstatic, right.? yet i felt flat, scared even, and i now i think i know what it was. i think it's because it meant that i had escaped that cocoon of first being rescued. the novelty, to use an awful description, has worn off..and now i have to move on. ( a bit like growing up and leaving home, perhaps) and thread a pathway to normalise the fact i have to live with this condition, forever. And now i've taken a moment, i'm good with that. (sure many will have been there in some way, so i know i'm not alone in that) Phase one has ended.. Bring on Phase two The KING is Dead. Long Live the KING. [/QUOTE]
