Well I shit you not (no pun intended) but this morning WAS my diabetic review for the year...
so i went in, and basically told them everything I'd said on here, about just not being assed, and just doing whatever the fuck I want... (minus the swearing) and guess what?
They couldn't have been nicer! Apparently, the treatment guidelines have changed since covid, and whereas they used to take an 'abstinence' direction with their advice, now they take a 'moderation' direction instead...
It was refreshing to hear that when I said 'I know Im overweight' to be told, 'Well who isn't these days?' When I spoke about BMI scales, (Which used to be almost gospel to them in the past) I was told not to worry, and the BMI scales are all out of date these days, and they dont use them anymore.
She said I was at a weight that my body was happy with, and that although I'm still diabetic, i'm in no way as bad as I could be...
I mentioned the milkshake, only to be told 'Well why not? Just not EVERY day...' which I 100% agree with.... I wouldn't want one everyday.
Likewise the Xmas dinner came up, and I was told NOT to do that again ! To eat whatever I want to eat, when I want to eat it, but just not
TOO MUCH...
Perfect really. Almost like I myself had been in charge of telling them what to say to me
Pleased as punch I am...
