โReading this late at night? I've been there. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was my HbA1c going up again. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ

โIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. Hypos at night, every single day. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.โ
