This is the first time in a veeeeeeeeeeeeery long time that I can write that my A1c is in the sevens in fact it’s 7.8%
I know the diabetes police will say ‘ach 7.8 thats nowhere near the 6/5% it should be rah rah raaaah’… but for me it is a huge mile stone, in fact it means that though there is still room for improvement I am doing it and I am doing it on my own.
In 9 months I have plugged away (with the advice of my team) and lowered my A1c from 9.8 to 7.8% (welling up again here)
I just wanted to say to everyone who has supported me, advised and comforted me here,
thank you from the bottom of my heart and to those struggling or feeling despondent or overwhelmed you can do it, step by step (or test by test) you really can, bin the bad days and keep plugging away at it
