Oh dear, hope you are ok. We are isolating too but not for a positive reading. Did you have any symptoms?
 
@Gruers Hopefully you're only getting a light dose and it doesn't bother you too much before you're back and fully recovered. Meanwhile, take care.

Oh my, sorry to hear this, hope your all ok and your fighting fit in no time xx
 
A 7.2 for me this morning. The ice alarm on the car went off (below 3C) when I set of on the school run. Its sunny but cold! Hope you get well soon @Gruers

Not bad considering two AF beers in the pub last night

My turn 😎 In your opinion Starbucks coffee is cheap muck - in my opinion AF beer is like drinking weewee. Sorry, couldn’t resist that😛
 
Good morning 5.1 I think we must be having an apocalypse the heavens are blue
with a great big fireball inside of it.🙄🙂 Off to my mates today he`s selling his Harley
and buying a Trike wants my opinion also sorting a bit of lighting out in his daughters
bedroom.🙂😎

So sorry to hear of your positive test @Gruers, hope you will all be safe. {{{{HUGS}}}

Heading in the right direction @Michael12421 from the info you have told us your
correction dose will be 1:2 ratio, eat some food today and Bolus for it "please."🙂

Take care folks stay safe, enjoy your day.🙂

Wow, that’s a big correction dose! Well done, it’s done the job. I hope you manage to eat / drink something today, even if it’s just something tiny. I think that’d help. ((Hugs)) 🙂

Went for a walk with Missy, came back home because I needed to be at the surgery for 10.30 to have ny dressings changed, took a reading and it was back up to 20.2.

You see some stunning trikes around and I do appreciate that. I just worry that it’s the worst of two worlds - you get wet when it rains, but you can’t split lanes and beat the tin boxes. Keep us posted.
 
An 8.6 for me this morning.
Had our chocolate night a day early so that'll explain it.
Was at 4.6 just before bedtime, a couple of hours after the chocolate and after a long walk so clearly the chocolate is slow to release its glucose. Should have checked during the night.

Anyway ANOTHER blue sky in the Kingdom. What on earth is going on with this country?
Upped painkiller dose last night and took ages to get to sleep. Only woke up half an hour ago. Not feeling much pain during the day but once I lie down at night it's pretty difficult. Will up dose to maximum tonight but I fear I may be looking at a change to the brain foggy pills.
 
FINALLY at home after a delayed taxi mix up! Apparently some sod took my taxi & said yes they’re, my name, for a taxi to Ballymoney & they just wanted a taxi to the bus station in Coleraine! 😡 But, just in the door now! That’s a disadvantage of the masks: can’t really see who people are all covered up especially on sunny days with sunglasses too!🙄

Got in the door & a hosp. appointment letter, no post yet when I left, is for the cardiologist on the 02/11/20 09:20 at outpatients at the Causeway Hospital: relieved it’s not the Antrim Hospital which takes HOURS & 3 buses each way to get to: lots of waiting in between buses too; mix of Express bus that’s once every 2 hours & smaller local buses that are more frequent but, it ALL has to be coordinated both directions! It’ll very expensive but, I may take taxis both ways are it’s a lot easier! I thought I was getting better breathing wise, albeit very slowly, since May but, walking the long hospital corridors today, I know I’m not: a lot of pauses in the corridors to catch my breath; I feel pretty exhausted from that little trip!🙄😳o_O
 
@Michael12421 do you have a way to check for ketones? You really should check for them ASAP xx

I think you probably need to eat some carb (and inject, of course!). You’re probably in the situation where your liver is receiving information from your cells that they need glucose, so it’s dumping (even more) glucose in the bloodstream - your liver doesn’t know you’re diabetic, unfortunately. Exercising probably isn’t helping either. If you can’t eat, have juice and inject for it.

For a straightforward explanation, have a look online at My Diabetes My Way / Sick Day Rules.
 
Late posting for me today. A nice steady 5.6 this morning. Scanned before sensor ran out 3hrs later and it showed 13.6!!!! Finger prick 8.7. Phew!! By lunchtime, new sensor showed 10.6 and finger prick confirmed (think its because i had class for part of the morning so bit stressed).
Its Friday :D :D :D :D
@eggyg have a good holiday
@Gruers, get well soon. Fingers crossed its a lighter dose for you
 
Bloden said:
Can you explain the ratio to me please, Ted? I don’t understand - what do the 1 and the 2 represent? Insulin and...? I’m a bit thick, see.🙄🙂

I haven't looked back and can't remember Michael's level last night but I would assume Ted means 1 unit lowers it by 2mmol? But as I say I haven't looked to see if my theory is correct! LOL xx
 
Michael12421 said:
No I do not. I simply cannot eat today. I didn't eat yesterday either yet still spent the night throwing up, 3 times in 7 hours! What was all that about?
Click to expand...
Please take @Bloden advice and have at least some carb containing liquids, do you have a chemist near that you could obtain even ketone urine test strips from?

People here - very kind - are mentioning juice. Not a thing I keep in. What kind of juice are you thinking about? We have lots of orange juice as well as mango juice and some others. Should they contain sugar? Eating is a problem but drinking juice would be more than OK as my mouth is very dry and I am drinking lots of water. I would have to bolus for the juice if it contains a lot of sugar - right?
