I'm setting a goal, right here, right now.
I want to manage my Diabetes in a healthier manner. Easier said than done, right? Occasionally I'm forgetful to test my sugars and count my carbs. Sometimes I even pretend my pancreas never crapped out on me. However, no matter how long the fantasy may last for me...reality eventually sets in.
I decided to check my A1c count for first time in what I believe to be two years. I had a score of 8.9...yikes. I also went to an optometrist to get my eyes checked. Even though I have no sign that diabetes has affected my vision or the sensations I still feel on my feet; I did, however, come to the realization from my A1c results that I need to take my auto immune disease more seriously to continue to live a happy and productive life. Also, me being more conscience and continuing to improve my A1c levels will help me prevent future complications.
So, I'm setting a goal. I want to lower my A1c score to a 7. I'm giving myself a year to complete this goal. Not only will it benefit me, but it will also strengthen my relationship with my loving girlfriend. I would be saddened to pass before my girlfriend.
First post. First goal. I got this.
