Monthly query: TuDiabetes Turns Five! Where were you, in relation to your diabetes, five years ago?

How has your relationship to your diabetes changed in the last 5 years? Maybe you have learned new skills to help you better manage your blood sugars, or made needed progress in accepting your life with diabetes. Maybe you've gotten a little lax with your care and need to re-inspire your will power to eat carefully and exercise regularly.

Reflect on where you were the year TuDiabetes began and where you are now, and share the changes you see, either in the discussion below, in your blog (please post the link to your blog in the discussion below so we can find it), or with photos!

Five years ago: I was managing my diabetes reasonably well, with an A1C around 7. I ate healthy but unbalanced meals at odd times that differed by the day and didn't actively track my blood sugar trends, but did test often and exercise daily.

Today: I am managing my diabetes reasonably well, with an A1C around 7. I eat healthy but unbalanced meals at odd times that differ by the day and don't actively track my blood sugar trends, but do test often and exercise daily.

Hhhhmmmmmm  :-/   Stasis is not actually my goal.
