This morning, I called Philadelphia. Not on my usual list of things to do at 06:10 on a Thursday. I called Philadelphia to set up a 'Visit' with Dr. Scheiner, the author of the book I so recently discovered.
On further exploration of his website, I found a page dedicated to Type one diabetics with a blurb about 'Intensive Diabetes Care'. I decided to find out more so a week or so ago I emailed and received an email reply within 24 hours saying that I was welcome to call and make an appointment. Which I did. This morning. I have an appointment on February 5th. Eek!
To say I'm excited is an understatement. I mean, I know that ultimately it's down to me to do the day-to-day stuff. However, having some expert support, I hope, will make some difference. It has to, surely? The day-to-day stuff is tricky. And this week I've been slowly recovering from my sniffles and my body seems to be in hibernation mode: each evening I have been stuffing myself with food... Not good for me or my blood sugars. And I know that only I can change this. But: bring on a little knowledge to help me with the science bit!
Update and analysis on Sunday...
