So I have been trying to get my diet and exercise plan together for a few weeks. But in the middle of all this I had a trip to Vegas. That was; beer, food and partying for a week. What I had not realised was the consequences of this.
I had been controlling my diabetes for a year now without any required support other than regular sessions with the diabetic nurse. Since I got back from Vegas I’d been feeling sluggish and tired, but thought I was just a bit tired and I’d shake it off.
Last Friday I got a call from the doctor who was concerned with my (regular) blood test showing high sugars. She changed my meds and I thought that would be it. However I felt really poorly at work on Wednesday so booked an appointment with a GP when I got home. I was lucky to have got an appointment that day. Long story short I spent the evening/night in Hospital.
My bloods were still too high. I got sent home when they stabilised a bit, but I have to see an Endocrinologist. I also have an appointment this week with my Diabetes Nurse.
This couldn’t have come at a worse time for me. I was in the middle of a training course and had started the first tentative steps towards my marathon training. Now I need to pick up the pieces. Right now I feel light headed and fatigued. Need to beat this. I won’t give in!
