Too many antibiotics??

Typically after being ill for a while And me starting to feel happy again, I was waiting for something else to go wrong which it did in the form of a horrible toothache running up to the weekend! Went to the dentist after the weekend to be told that my wisdom tooth was pushing through onto the tooth next to it which had an infection so I was thinking they will just give me some antibiotics right? 

Wrong!! Apparently because I have had so many antibiotics recently they didn't want to give me any more!!! So now I am just supposed to suffer with the pain until they can give me some......

*bangs head on iPad* 

Think positive.... Think positive..... Think positive.... Gahhhhhh! 😭

And the HBA1C is........

Drumroll.......

8.9% a lot of you may think that's a little high, and quite rightly so but I'm actually really happy with it! Considering all the shit I have been through the last couple years I think that's pretty good going :) it's lower than my last one and that's all that matters, progress means everything even if it's slow and steady! 

For all you non diabetics who are thinking "what the heck is a hba1c!?" It's a routine blood tests that diabetics have that measures the amount of glycated haemoglobin (hb) in the blood and gives an average based on the past 6 months or so.... Simplified even more it's basically testing how much sugar is in our blood over a short period so we keep it in check and make sure we are less prone to all those nasty complications! It then gives a result that is converted into a percentage. 

Apart from that everything else was fine thank god! Perfect blood pressure, feet check went alright and no other infections or anything :) 

Now I just have to make sure I go to all the other appointments, oh and I need to book my eye scan!
