Thanks for reminding me about bins. It's our recycle day today. Last week we were out late for our walk/exercise. After 5 mins or so I remembered I hadn't put our boxes out. "It's Ok" thought I, "they never come before lunch time, we'll be back well before then".
B*ggers chose that day to be exceptionally early. 😡🙄

Morning all, and the short spell of good weather is gone, as has my run of fives. 6.5 today but that’ll be the Aldi Specially Selected sourdough and seeded baguette.

We love these too but I have to eat under very controlled conditions... 🙂
 
A 4.6 this morning and got my HbA1c result of 33 :D

A 7.6 this morning was it the scone and cream I had yesterday afternoon

Yup. The second biggest spike I’ve had was after scones (two small ones) with jam and clotted cream.
 
Thank you all. It was a good visit to the cardiac rehab. All my metrics are good. I’m going to try for an appointment with my GP which, I’d guess, will be by phone to discuss if I can stop the Metformin and reduce the Atorvastatin dose.
 
Oh dear, dear dear! :( Here I am going hypo AGAIN after eating an early lunch!😱

Both times, yesterday & today, after eating a 3 egg mushrooms, cheese & dried mixed herbs omelette & I reduced my NR dose by more than half this time: from 44 units to 20! This time exactly 90 minutes after: before lunch 08:38 BS 5.1 a bit surprised by the drop from 10.2, thank goodness I didn’t add a correction,earlier so, instinct told me to reduce; 90 minutes after 10:12 BS 3.9. Had 2 JB’s & loads of shortbread again as the hypo hunger struck!😱

This isn’t a coincidence I think & leads me to wonder if it’s because it’s virtually all protein & carb free? How do I bolus for that: delayed bolus; not at all? I posted a separate thread in the food forum! Any ideas: what would you do?🙄

G'day all. 8.2 @ 5.55am

Woke to fog... or mist? Nice now, but very breezy. Mum's wearing a thick cardi with fingerless gloves and we have the heating on. Agh.
 
Really well done @karloc what a great result x
 
@karloc Good result - well done. 🙂
 
*16/09/20 22:02 BS 4.1! Very close to the wire! o_O

Yesterday after my omelette hypo & all that shortbread, I remember shoving in a good 6 to 8 mint matchmakers too Blushing emoji, my BS rose steadily the next few hours after active insulin: all that over treated hypo hunger binge! I can’t tell you how many shortbread biscuits I shoved in? 🙄 12:27 BS 5.3 with 70 units of Levemir & meds. 13:22 BS 6.4. Then, before dinner 16:46 BS 8.4 with 40 units NR, back to normal dose for ham sandwiches, & after 19:29 BS 10.3 again a bit high but, not corrected & went to bed. Woke on the above reading of 4.1: BIG drop!😱

Had breakfast already of ham sandwiches again with a slight reduction from 48 to 44 units NR & dozed off. I heard the midnight alarm but, too slow to respond so, fell asleep again!

Then, woke up today 03:13 BS 4.2! Again very close to the wire!😱 Ate ham sandwiches again: quickest to prepare & get down me when SO close to hypo range!o_O Decided to try my pre increase, recently, dose of 28 units -4, nearly hypo, of 24 units: better safe than sorry; can add corrections later if needs be! Decided not to bung in any Levemir yet as it seems SOMETHING is going on: needed to up my doses so much recently; now, it seems, they’re too much & have to reduce again?🙄o_O See what my after reading is later before I decide about Levemir?🙄 I may even leave it altogether until the next dose at midday: fire fight any/if high BS with much shorter acting NR; safer than the much longer acting LR if I don’t get that right! Also, thinking I’ll try pre increase doses of 60 midday today & 40 at midnight tomorrow?🙄

I must have been fighting something off recently & getting on top of it now so, doses needed to go up & now need to go back down again?🙄

Another very early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

I’ll be hopping on my toes for a bit longer yet & testing to keep an eye on things as closely as I can while getting any rest, snoozes or sleep when I can!o_O

Edited:- * corrected the date: too early for maths in the morning; put 18/09/20 on the original post instead of 16/09/20!:Do_O🙄😉
