Yesterday I went for my 3 month check up. I usually try to get my blood work done a few days in advance. According to the lab, my A1C was 7.9. Not quite to the ADA's standards, but it could be a lot worse. Dr. H was happy with me overall. No eye disease, no kidney disease-its been eight years so far. I can be proud of myself and give my self major kudos for that!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, living and dealing with Type 1 day in, day out, 24/7, 365 days a year, its not easy constantly monitoring what I eat, activity, etc, etc, etc, etc..........
Some days I just want to scream and throw away all these damn supplies. Unless you are living with this, you can't fully understand the frustration that comes along with it. (So no judging!) I hate to sound preachy, but I can't tell you how many times I voice frustration, only to be told by someone who doesn't have T1 that it could be worse, at least you can control it, I could go on......
However, most days I just check my sugar, give my shots, and go on with my life. Its become a part of me. ( I still don't like saying that....) Its not always convenient and its definitely not pretty. I have become a stronger person for it. Yup, that's right you islet cell killer!
