@A DiabetesTeam Member

Hello Ray

I’m very sorry to read about your struggles.
I am not trying to lecture you, but to help you.
As every day is a bad day, you will need to work very much harder, to halt diabetes in its tracks, to stop it from completely taking over your life.
At this time, diabetes is controlling you. You now need to begin controlling it.
You cannot “wish” diabetes away. You cannot reverse diabetes. You will have diabetes for the rest of your life, but you can overcome it, by working very hard at it.
Once you have control over it, you will not have to live with every day being a bad day.

Please go back to total basics, as I am sure that you’ll find a difference in your numbers and then a difference in your well being. if you choose to ignore the very basic principles of fighting diabetes, you will continue to have bad days. Fight this disease with all your might and as my dear friend @A DiabetesTeam Member says, never quit, never give up.

Start a food diary to see what food might be causing your BS to be raised and which might possibly make you feel unwell 

Practice portion control. 


Eat only Diabetic friendly meals. 

White foods, sugar, white bread, pizza, pasta, white potatoes and so on will elevate your BS and you will feel unwell. 
 

Slowly cut carbs. 

If you don’t have kidney problems, hydrate well.

If overweight, you will need to lose. 
 

If you are not exercising, you can start by taking short walks and then extending them, little by little. 

I hope that you’ll have a better day tomorrow. 🤗. Wishing only the very best for you 🙏
If you continue to feel under par, you should consider making an appointment to see your Health Care Professional, as you might need a reassessment of your meds.

You need to keep your BS stabilised to stop highs and low which will lead to cumulative damage. 🤗

Why are good blood sugar levels important? 
It is important that you control your blood glucose levels as well as you can as too high sugar levels for long periods of time increases the risk of diabetes complications developing. 
Diabetes complications are health problems which include: 
* Kidney disease 
* Nerve damage 
* Retinal disease 
* Heart disease 
* Stroke 
This list of problems may look scary but the main point to note is that the risk of these problems can be minimised through good blood glucose level control. Small improvements can make a big difference if you stay dedicated and maintain those improvements over most days.
