Living Alone with Diabetes

Individuals with diabetes who live alone face the usual complex self-management challenges that all PWDs face. Living alone, however, brings additional challenges. Only a few are noted here. Some "aloners" (new term?) face personal and medical safety issues with hypo unawareness, acute illnesses (who makes the chicken soup for flu?), and injuries, to name a few. Some may run higher than desired BGs during sleep to avoid a hypo reaction. There are unique challenges with planning, prepping, and…See More

"Nice work. 1.1% since November. Not too shabby. The cholesterol, I consider that a secondary issue. The A1c tho, that really matters. Great job."

"Nice job. Dropping your A1c by 1.6% will lower your risk of complications significantly. My feeling is that nothing succeeds like success. I hope you take yours and keep at it so that your A1c gets into target range. Take care, Maurie"

If I can do it ... Anyone can do it

In preparation for my Endo appoint this week, I had the blood tests done over the weekend, and got back the result today. I am pleased to say they appear very good to me.My A1C is still a little high at 7.6, but it is down 1.1% from Nov, and down 1.6% from a year ago.The Dr also prescribed a statin to help lower the cholesterol levels, but I opted not to fill the prescription opting for a couple of what I considered minor changes to my diet. And again, the tests were all better, dropping total…See More

DiabEric replied to Siri's discussion 'What´s the most empowering comment you´ve ever gotten about diabetes?'
"My empowering comment came from here, and with a little para-phrasing: You are not your number. Whether it is my A1C, or current BG, I have to remind myself every once in a while that I AM more than just that number."
