Doctors, Nurses and Needles.

Well, this week I think i have probably spent more time in the doctors or nurses office then anywhere else. 
Finally got my Aviva Expert meter up and running, with all the carb input and everything. I must say its pretty fantastic. Calculates correction doses, can input any illnesses or exercise done. Making diabetes that little bit easier. My sugars on the other hand seem to be all over the place. One minute they will be low, then the next they will sky rocket for no reason. Stresses me out abit, but slowly getting them abit more under control then what they have been lately. 

Then had an appointment at the hospital. Let the breakdown commence. After been in there 5minutes, i was in tears. Think the realization of everything is finally getting to me. I need to get this all under control. In relation to getting a pump, hopefully by my next appointment (4months away) i will be able to get one. Dr said i need to get my sugars under better control and lower my HbA1c (currently 140... yes, i know, extreamly high!!) and then I should (hopefully) be able to get a pump :)

Seeing the doctor put things into perspective for me. I need to control my diabetes, and not let it control me. Decided its time to get fit too so the gym is the way forward i think :) fitness classes too, always a good call :) only thing is, after exercising, my sugars seem to go high. Any one know why? I though if anything, that they would go low and possibly send me hypo. Only they do the opposite. Hmmmm.... must ask my DSN about that next time i see her. 

As for now, aims are to lower HbA1c and maintain stable sugars. Lets see how well it all goes :) ....<3
