Will My Poorly Managed T1D Haunt Me?

Home » Blog » Type 1 diabetes (t1d)
I recently learned to manage my Type 1 Diabetes better after years of poor control. I'm worried about potential complications from those years.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh, sweetie, let’s talk about your Type 1 Diabetes and the years you spent not quite managing it as well as you should have. You know, the past is the past, and we can’t change it. But what you can do now is focus on the present and the future. You’ve done an amazing job getting your A1C down to 5.7! That’s something to be really proud of. But listen, you need to stay vigilant and keep up with your management.

Now, I know you’re worried about potential complications. The truth is, no one can give you a definitive answer about what’s going to happen. But here’s what you need to understand: bodies love normal blood sugars. They can heal when they’re given the chance. So keep doing what you’re doing, and don’t forget those regular check-ups, especially for your eyes. Yes, blurry vision can be scary, but it might just be from changes in your blood sugar levels.

And for goodness’ sake, get those eyes checked! Retinopathy is sneaky, and it doesn’t care if you’re doing better now. Regular eye exams are crucial, especially after a big drop in A1C. Stay on top of it, and remember that early detection can make all the difference. You’ve got this, darling. Keep up the good work, and don’t let fear hold you back from taking control of your health.
