Diabetes and mental health

[Dimity]

Yes too many temptations @Shaz51 .

Just wondering if there's someone on your diabetes team you can talk to this week.

[Shaz51]

Rang my dietician @Dimity and she thinks it is just a spike so it will settle down again 

So thought I might go for a walk tomorrow xx 

@Tilz 

[Dimity]

A walk is always good @Shaz51 .

I was proud of myself today, I walked to the shops and got cat litter - I've been getting it in deliveries the last 3 months. 

[Shaz51]

Well done 😊 @Dimity 🥰

Congrats @Dimity ! @Dimity , I've never asked (feel free not to answer), but do you have diabetes? I vaguely remember you were on the verge of having diabetes? My memory may have deceived me. 

@Shaz51 , hope your sugar levels are under control. Sounds like a tough balancing act.

[Dimity]

I'm prediabetic @tyme . After I did the Life! program my sugars dropped but I relapsed 3 months ago, when my health went downhill and I couldn't exercise. I wasn't as careful with diet either. 

I'm trying to ease back into good habits but won't be as active for at least another couple of months.

@Shaz51 you might need to see your diabeties nurse to see if you need more units of insulin. 

[Shaz51]

Hello @Jacques , yes I think I need more units of  insulin , have to wait till Monday 

@Dimity , @tyme , @Tilz 

Yes it is a tricky balance and having kidney disease as well does make it harder

Hi @Shaz51 @Dimity 

Have been reading up on diabetes and all I can do is say is to take care of yourselves.  You guys seem to have all these extra challenges to face which makes life even more challenging.  Best of luck.......Asgard

Thanks for sharing @Dimity . Good on you for the little bits of exercise you are able to fit in. It's a huge effort. 

I'm cheering you on!

Hope your eye is better now.
