5.8 this morning which I’ll happily take.
Hugely uncomfortable side effects from either the Atorvastatin or the Ramipril have hit. I doubt it’s both but we’ll see if they calm down over the next few days. If not I’ll flag them up with the GP and see if they can switch the meds for others.
Painful indigestion which kept me awake and that’s combined with side effects I’d normally associate with standard metformin. Not comfortable at all.
This is after one dose of both ffs.
@eggyg could it be just wax build up? You could try olive oil to soften any wax in your ears and call the gp on Monday if it’s not eased up.

Good Morning 8.2 this morning
hardly surprising as so much total junk food & snack yesterday Kebab Crisps & Chocolate yesterday
on a positive, the weight loss is going well, since I’ve been on Ozempic & Reduced Carb intake
now I’ve lost 23KG

@Freddie1966 congrats on the HS
@eggyg I would definitely contact the dr, that’s what they are there for.
7.5 today which is rather disappointing. Rang other pension provider yesterday, confusing conversation then turns out the NI no they have is very slightly different to mine, although all other details are correct. They need to look into things more before I go any further - great!!
Misty has now hurt her back paw so feeling rather sorry for herself.
Have a good weekend everyone x

Usually no, I couldn't even stand the smell of it (Bruce drinks it though) but there was a nice bottle in the pub a good few years ago and I was promised the bottle and the container when it was empty, me and Bruce finished it that day and it was near full! It was either vodka (with coke cause if it's irn bru it made me sick), southern comfort and coke (yes I'm aware it's an American Whiskey flavoured liqueur lol) and there was something else but can't remember what it was haha, as I say I haven't drank since 2017 and my last spirits would've been some time in 2016 xx

6.9 for me this morning.
I have gone from one extreme to the other in two consecutive nights with the same basal as yesterday... ie 25u in the morning and none overnight. Hypoed overnight the night before and was high (9-11) all night last night to the point that I woke at 5am and jabbed myself 1.5 units of insulin and still woke at 7am on 6.9.
I went for a run for the first time in a while yesterday so half expected to go low overnight as I started dropping low before bed and decided to have the last Leberkuchen dark choc ginger bread (believe it or not left over from Christmas.... and it was only a 5 piece pack!!) to bring me up. Then I realised that I had got it wrong and they were actually 22g carbs not 12g (so long since I had one I forgot) so I injected 1.5 units of Fiasp because my levels shot up to 11 with a vertical upward arrow and yet somehow that Fiasp did nothing and my levels stayed high all night.
I really need to work on my consistency somehow!
@Inamuddle Sending (((Hugs))) Stick with us and try to post every day if you can and don't worry about not having anything positive to say or your readings being less than ideal.... at least those 9s and 10s are better than 2s and 3s.
Hope your difficult spell comes to an end soon. What are your daytime readings like?
Hope you have a good weekend. Try to do at least one thing a day that you enjoy and be in the moment with that, even if it only lasts 5 mins, when you just ignore everything else and think... "This is good!" I do that with my morning coffee with cream. I try to just think to myself, what an absolute luxury it is and forget all the other naff stuff happening and really savour the flavour of the coffee and cream. I know it seems trivial but it sets me up for the day and by gum I miss it when I run out of cream and have to use milk or butter!
@Freddie1966 Many congratulations on your House Special this morning! Nice start to the weekend!

Colin be very wary of the statins you may be in the minority like me and can`t take them, I get so ill on them
my notes have a big no no to statins, I also take Ramipril no problem.
Good morning 6 on the head.
Shares`ys you can have the glass and I`ll have the wine, sounds fair enough.
Congratulations on your HS @Freddie1966🙂.
Off to look at a trike with my Harley mate today will put up photos if he buy`s it.
Take care stay safe folks, we`re here for you @Inamuddle. {{{HUGS}}}🙂

Woke twice today after a late on a hard day of battle against high BS. 06:43 BS 9.4 that’s how long it took me to respond to the 6am basal alarm! Stuck in 84 units of LR & went back, after a while, to sleep!
Just up again now & 10:38 BS 8.5 relieved to see it go down as the switched LR pen seems to be working & my BS hadn’t risen like it did all day yesterday! But, it took me a while to work that out as NR was working for 90 minutes after I ate then, stayed level until 3 hours where it started to rise a little! After 4 hours it’d jump from 8’s to 15’s. I started a new LR pen from a new box, the last box I have & ordered a new box, yesterday & both my doses didn’t seem to work! I eventually worked it out & 3 hours after dinner with BS still pretty steady at 21:20 BS 8.9 I switched to a new LR pen, hoping it was ok, & put in 44 units for roughly half the time left until the next dose. I then stayed up until midnight to keep checking my BS. I TESTED A LOT yesterday & my fingers are feeling very tender but, needs must! At that point there was no NR in my system & it was all basal so, if it rose the whole box was off & not just that 1 pen. In which case I would go to A&E as I can’t stay awake for much longer sticking in NR every 3 hours! But, it stayed pretty steady 22:53 BS 8.8 & 23:51 BS 8.8. I FINALLY went to bed a pretty relieved bunny!
This pen still seems to be working this morning & I hope the other 3 pens left in that last box is ok too! I usually have 2 boxes of each sitting in the fridge, 1 whole box & the remains of the current box, but, I’ll order more & keep 3 boxes of each now in case I come across a whole box being off as I’ve read has happened to other forum members! As it is this pen will just about last me until Monday when I get my new box!
I shall order another new box of both LR & NR straight away on Monday & explain in the extra info box & keep 2 whole boxes each plus the current box in the fridge! I DO NOT want to have to go through THAT again!
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
A pretty relieved bunny going to have brunch now!

I don’t think dad can take them but mum does without any issues.
At the moment the most annoying side effects are gastrointestinal.

I can’t take statins. My legs swell up! I’m in a fibrate instead, not as effective but apparently it’s better for me as I’m pancreasless, something to do with lipids. I really should know this!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments...
A 9.2 this morning, (I am happy with anything under 10 these days)
Sorry to hear about your ear problem @eggyg . On the NHS site it does say that tinnitus can be linked to diabetes. Groan. I have had similar for a few years I also suffered from dizziness. I went to the doctor and they sent me to the hospital, even had a brain scan. The consultant did a thing where they tip you upside down and move your head suddenly (epley maneuvre). It did work but then came back again. Had the thing done again with not so much success. I seem to have just become used to it, sometimes it is worse, especially at bedtime, or when I think about it (like now).
Not sure now what I am going to do in the evenings as I had become addicted to the circle. This is a very sad state of affairs. Anyway last night was the final and I totally loved it. Have you been watching it Colin?
@KARNAK glad that you had a good trip to Teignmouth we will meet up soon!

Thank you everyone for the congratulations about my 5.2 yesterday.
@rebrascora my power chair is due to be delivered next Friday!! I'm so excited. Mark has been working out a route for me to get from home to Waitrose by identifying the roads that have got slopes suitable for crossing. It will be further than I had planned because we went out to check out a route in the car on Thursday and there was a drug exchange going on next to one of the crossing routes which was a few yards away from the main road. As there has previously been a machete attack down there I won't be going that way
