I will be honest- I write a lot of good blog posts in my head that never made it to the blog. Life gets busy, and often I get on a path that I didn't necessarily choose.
However, my blog just happens to be the longest living diabetes blog.
There re was a time when I was a very active blogger and I was a very good diabetic. My A1c was never over 7 and usually under 6.4
Due to a lot of life problems I did a lot of slippage. Some of it was burnout. Some of it was due to some life events. I actually haven't felt control of my life for quite a while.
I had a job I loved, teaching a subject I was passionate about, though the working conditions were pretty bad. Old building, poorly maintained and the victim of people who didn't care. I always felt bad for the students.
Now I am semi retired, teaching those same subjects, remotely, online which I do truly love. I have a volunteer job I really like, and people I like working with. I have a monthly income, and while it isn't a lot, I could make it if something happened to my husband. I have good health care.
So I try not to dwell too much on the past and should haves.
I have recently lost 20 pounds with Jenny Craig and got my own to 6.4. I am doing everything I can to keep from surgery especially orthopedic. I work out pretty close to every day and have a good reason for not.
I make use of my tools, especially my diabetes alert dog And just keep going on as best I can.
