My Pump Blog

Good evening all,

I hope you are all keeping well ?

So tomorrow is my annual Diabetes check up with my GP and of course the dreaded blood test for Hba1c, Cholesterol etc as it us quite a list. My last Hba1c was 7.1 and that was almost a year ago so we shall see if it has improved or got any worse (fingers crossed). I will need to wait a week for my results so I will keep you all posted.

I don’t mind my Diabetes check ups so much as they usually go ok, I do however panic when going to the Eye Clinic as I have had quite a few eye operations. I have had 10,000 laser burns in each eye and a Vitrectomy in both eyes which are not pleasant operations at all. I have lost some central vision in my right eye and have really bad night vision which means I can’t drive in poor light, walking is bad enough. So when I go about my eyes I always have in the back of my mind are they going to say my eyes are worse or even that I may lose my sight which is really scary.

Anyway now I have cheered you all up I am off to bed – please let me know your last Hba1c, Your age, Are you on a Pump or not and how long have you had Diabetes as it would be good to know for us all.

More comments on my site would also be great.

Take care
Andrew 
