Yesterday My Troubles

[queenofmean]

came home to roost!

I had the diabetic clinic. My A1c had rocketed from 68% to 79%. But when you take in to consideration the last 4 months I’m not in the slightest bit surprised. While my sugars were up they weren’t a concern until December hit and my routine went 50 types of wrong, had an infection and had antibiotics and I did EVERYTHING I knew I could to settle them but no they weren’t having it. Nurse was on stand by to try alternative measures suggested by me if it came to it. Thankfully it didn’t quite come to that the doctor I saw took into consideration everything that has been going on and said ‘new week, so use your tools and knowledge and bring things back into line’ which I’ve been doing anyway but this week is my first normal week, so here is hoping.

Had to see my GP my liver is clear and my iron bloods came back clear also, he wasn’t chuffed at my sugars (I’m not either if I’m brutally honest but I’m doing my best) but either my Ibs is progressively getting worse or I may be in the early stages of Gastroperesis caused by my diabulimia. Playing it by ear at the moment. Also I’ve to have further investigations now on this stupid ruddy cyst on my ovary - back to see the rather abrupt Gynae it would seem.

Onwards and upwards so they say, and wish my luck, I feel I might need it!

Thank you Emile, me too.

It’s hard to try and sort one thing out at the moment with so much other things going on. Trying to not worry as things won’t settle if I do.

[emmie]

you have to be calm and collected, nothing will go away but at least things might settle a little.

Just another blip sweetheart! Don't let it beat you... You'll do it. Xxxx

[queenofmean]

I will do. I’ve planned to deal with the Ibs/gastroperesis/ sugar maintaining as one as the two affect what I eat so if I manage that things should settle there.

But i know it will Patsy, I’ve done it before I know I can do it again :) hope all is well with you x

Queenie, switch your over active mind down for a second :'-)........ What one issue is most important to your wellbeing/ future for now ? Concentrate on IT .

[queenofmean]

I’m focussing in the 3 things that come as one Anne,as they all combine and affect each other.

There isn’t anything that can be done with the cyst pain at present other than take painkillers.

But I’m not worrying as it would just make my sugars worse.

hope things improve soon Q xx

[queenofmean]

Thank you Minty fingers crossed they do x

[marval]

Try not to worry too much Queenie, I know that is easy for me to say. I am sure you can do it, just take it in small steps.
I do wish you luck, don't let it get you down, I wish good things in the future for you. xx

[queenofmean]

Many thanks Marval.

Today has been relatively plain sailing. My sugars have fluctuated but it’s hard to gauge when I’m at work. No tummy trouble either so Egg Mayo, Porridge, Banana, Cereal Bar Meatloaf and Veg don’t affect it - so that’s a plus!

I’ll get there slowly I’m not rushing anything as of yet.
