Reflection #4

It's Been A While

Since I have done a Reflection, so I wanted to reflect on how I have been feeling lately. I have been feeling very lucky over the last few days, I feel lucky in regards to my Diabetes. I have my health and no damage from my Diabetes.

I have had Type One Diabetes for over Eleven years now and at present I have no damage from my Diabetes but I have also looked after myself. Sure I have had at least Three Hospital stays but One visit was only for a few hours. I was Fifteen when I was diagnosed in Paediatrics and from that moment in time I ensured that I took care of myself and I had a team and my Mum behind me to make sure I was doing the right thing.

The last day or so I have been feeling motivated, motivated to do better and be more organised with my health. I admit that I am not thrilled about my body at the moment, I am not comfortable in my skin and I need to change that, I need to change my outlook about my body and do something about it.

Now the weather is getting slightly warmer, I find myself eating and snacking on carbohydrate free foods and foods that have very little carbs in them. This afternoon I started walking again, the weather is meant sunny all week so there is no reason for me not to go exercise. My weight always goes up and down through out the year but I usually tone up and lose a little weight in the warmer weather.

I am feeling excited and motivated right now, my blood glucose metre is being updated and I should get that in the post any day now. I will be purchasing a new Diabetes case because I feel my basic black case is getting tiresome, I feel it is time to update a couple of things when it comes to my Diabetes. New case and I would like a new Finger Pricker something different.

I feel I am turning a corner at the moment and my Specialist appointment is not far away, it is hard to believe we are heading into November. Where has the year gone? This year has gone so quickly, I have been so sick this year I am glad to be feeling better an be at the end of all the sickness.

I hope you enjoy this post and have a wonderful week,

Until next time
