Hello Monique

I think that the question was too long for AI. Let’s split it up. Use the same method. Top of screen, tap Q&A.

Ask your first question.

MY MONOCYTE AND EOSINOPHIL LEVELS ARE HIGH. IS THIS DUE TO DIABETES.

Ask a second question

MY A1C HAS BEEN HIGH AT 9.1. I FEEL EXTREMELY WEAK AND TIRED. ONLY DUE TO SEE MY DOCTOR IN MARCH 2026. PLEASE HELP

You can ask as many questions as you like. There is no limit.

I’m very sorry to read about your struggles. As every day is likely to be 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.
You must not ignore the very basic principles of fighting diabetes, otherwise 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 today. 🤗

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 

*Amputation

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.
