Morning folks. Another in the 7 with 7.2 on the Libre. Checked on the Accu-Chec and was a nice 5.9. Only checked as when I woke at 5.20am I was 5.1. So was disappointed to wake two hours later in the 7s. So take your pick this morning!

Staying at home today. Yesterday’s supposedly gentle jaunt into town ended up with pushing a pram round the town and occupying a baby whilst mummy tried 45 pairs of jeans on! Mr Eggy was wise and returned home after his bank appointment! Honestly, I was shattered, got home at 4.30.I don’t like shopping at the best of times, with my daughters even less, but throw an eight month old into the mix! 😱I spent most of it just walking round and round the shopping centre entertaining Zara, she doesn’t like shopping either!

Today I’ll mostly be recovering! Have a great day. @SueEK fingers crossed today goes well and enjoy your long weekend. It looks as posh as owt! 🙂

My last screening appointment was an early victim of the pandemic, so I haven’t been 'done' since April 2019.

8.0 this morning. And clearly the start of a cold.

I just got in late January 2020. So I suppose I shouldn’t grumble. Plus, I’ve had a photo and some other techy stuff done at opticians as I have very large floaters, she said I didn’t have any diabetic changes. I’m happy to wait.

8.0 this morning. And clearly the start of a cold.

My middle daughter, her hubby and daughter are absolutely chockablock with cold. School sent my granddaughter home as she had “ Covid symptoms”. They won’t let her back until she has had a PCR ( negative of course), the problem is she’s had Covid within the last 90 days and the PCR could show she has it when it’s just a very bad cold, like lots of us are suffering from at the moment! The school will be empty soon.
Hope you don’t get it too bad. Touch wood we’re ok but we did have the whole family round at the weekend so……🙄

6.6 for me this morning but 3 Lift tablets were involved through the night. I think my 2 unit correction after dinner was probably more to blame than basal as my levels were pretty steady according to my graph after my hypo treatment.
Haven't had any potatoes for months and decided to treat myself to half a homegrown (catchcrop) baked potato.... (Waxy variety not floury) and it had been cooked, cooled and reheated. Waited half an hour after injecting to eat and still hit double figures... Arrgh! I got twitchy on 9.8 with a vertical upward arrow and chucked in another 2 units then levelled out at 11.2 and whilst I was 8.4 at bedtime, there was clearly life left in that 2 unit correction which gradually brought me down a bit low. That will teach me to be too keen to respond to Libre.
Anyway, my TIR has suddenly jumped from 90% yesterday to 95% this morning with just 2% below for the past 7 days so a really bad day must have just dropped out of the 7 day time frame. Much happier with that and may start to push for a PB now.

@Robin Many congrats on your House Special this morning. Hope all goes well with your screening.

@SueEK Hope you have a lovely time. Looks fab!

Morning

6.8 for me

Got involved in a slight argument on UK Libre Facebook group last night 😳 the way some of those Type 1's act towards Type 2's is absolutely vile! And because I stuck up for Type 2's that was it, one woman had a huge problem, rules state be nice, well admins really should be keeping a closer eye on things! xx

 

[Barfly]

7.0 today. Another beaut day brilliant sunshine not a cloud in sight but bloomin' cold 7deg atm. and blowing at 20mph in Poole.
One for today---
No offence to any Liverpudlians out there....

Good for you luv, no-one should be bullied by others because that’s what it is. Every diabetic has their own personal struggles whether T1 or T2 and we should support each other. - good on you xxx

4 degrees here, was shivering at the back of 5 when I got up but the low winter sun is streaming in at me and feeling a bit warmer lol xx

Eeek, 11.0 on Libre, 11.4 BG. Clearly something is going wrong looking at Libre over last couple of days. Due a cannula change, but will do a full change with fresh insulin instead. Previous vial has travelled to Portugal and back and on one occasion got left out over 24 hours by accident.

Have a lovely weekend @SueEK

@Kaylz a lot of those FB groups are the blind leading the blind. I have to keep my lip buttoned a lot.

Honestly it was disgusting, "a lot of Type 2's cause it themselves through lifestyle choices and could remain diet controlled if following advice from diabetes teams" me - what diabetes teams! Type 2 are lucky if they get much information at all, diabetes teams are pretty much non existent in their world! "not all Type 2's need to test" seriously OMG sorry it just all got to me, there was a lot more than that but it would take me all day and I'd end up raging again! LOL xx

I hope your back down and settle soon!

Yeah I'll need to learn how to do that, it's not a strong point of mine if something makes me angry lol xx

Morning All
A7.2 on waking. Yes going up a bit but with the stress of Doctors just sitting on medical form, I found it can be done by my Consultant at the Diabetic Centre at Broomfield Hospital but then had to tell GP’s to send it through. Will this be done, I have my doubts!
Can I be paid for this, as work now thinking of termination of contract as I can’t give date for return. (DVLA timetable……. Lol). sick pay c**p and company say can’t work without license but Drs say amended duties.
No wonder BG at elevated levels.
