Isn’t it funny, the twists and turns life brings? After 33 years living with diabetes, I have been told that I have MODY caused by the HNF1A gene. I may not need insulin anymore. I can’t quite believe it. Imagine, no more carb counting. I’d be able to eat pizza & bread! #GBDoc

Gutted for my lad. He has his driving test booked for Friday but his driving instructor has taken his money and done a bunk. So he has no car to take his test in. Due to Covid delays, missing his test will also mean he has to do his theory again. I just want to help but can’t 😞

Sad news at HRH house this evening. My beautiful, demanding, funny housemate, the infamous Miss P, has a fast growing cancer on her jaw and neck. That means it’s inoperable so she’s on palliative care. On the plus side, she appears to have the munchies after having painkillers!

I think that one of the worst things about being Mum to a grown up is that you can’t make everything right for them any more. Makes my heart break when I can’t scoop him up in my arms and cuddle him and make him feel better 💔

I don’t know which was better after such a long journey, hugging Mum for the first time in 18 months or going to the loo!! (It was the hug 🤗)

First vaccination done. Waiting 15 mins before I can go. Sitting here and thinking about all the people who are currently fighting Covid and all those people for who this vaccine has come too late. Particularly thinking of @KateMcMahon__ and her family. I’m so sorry my lovely 💜

Since having to give up work for health reasons, I feel I have done a lot for charities & #GBDoc . But I feel good about doing those things. Helping people makes me happy. I feel no need to list what I do. By engaging with the community I feel I get massive #PeerSupport in return.

Today is a new day, one which no longer involves working for the #GBDoc I feel like there’s a huge void in my life and my heart. Sounds dramatic but it’s how it is. I’m grieving. Please be kind to volunteers and their projects. We’re all people. Words hurt.

Any day now I’m expecting an outpouring of vitriol on social media from a certain someone. If you get a following from LJE42, please block him. It’s my ex who will have just received divorce papers and will try and find out where I live using my friends. He always does!

Saw this and it made me wonder just how many of us have no privacy in the bathroom!

Just had a call from my GP. “How can I help you today?” “Erm...you could help with my washing up?” “Anything medical?” “Nope. I wasn’t expecting a call from you” “I’m sorry, you’ve been added to my list in error. But I’m glad you’re doing well, I don’t often hear that”

My anxiety is made much worse by Boots, who I usually pick up my prescription meds from. Instead, I have changed to a pharmacy 6 miles away. I have rung and my call was answered, unlike Boots, and all 14 items have been dispensed and are available for collection. Boom!!

New pump has been ordered. I was 95% sure I was going to go for @MedtronicUK but their sensors are just too difficult to apply with dexterity issues. So I’ve gone for the @TandemDiabetes T:Slim. Dexterity issues filling it but it’s possible with a holder c/o @Type1Tony #GBDoc

Having a tearful day today. Only 10 days into antidepressants so am not surprised. I feel wobbly then when little things go wrong my brain just over exaggerates them and I get upset. Part of my brain is logical about it but the emotional part takes over! #MentalHealthAwareness
