And woke this morning with the BGs at 6.1! Mind you I was too busy fighting the recurring hypos yesterday - lowest was 3.2, but I struggled to get above 5 for hours - never even thought of the jab. Even the banana toasty didn't work it's usual magic and I didn't have the heatwave excuse so many of you had. I tried a sook of Lucozade in desperation (YEUCH!!! That stuff is disgusting), no good. Glucogel, nope. A poke of chips - Bingo! 5.3, phew.

This morning I feel completely wiped out, my legs are all shaky and I have the headache from hell, also, my BGs are still on the low side for me as I'm usually 8.something by now.

On the plus side, my knickers keep slipping! I may be losing weight again.

Hope you start to feel a bit better soon 🙂 I've got a nice heat induced headache and that's bad enough.

With a few of us having waistline issue I'm wondering if we are going to have a whole bunch of bottomless diabetics soon 😱 :D
 
Sorry to hear it Alison :( I'm feeling similar today after battling hypos all yesterday evening and into the night - head feels very groggy. I wonder if it might be time to review your medication again? Perhaps if you are losing weight the combination you are currently on is too much or maybe your pancreas has woken up a bit? Any appointments due?
 
I've got a lo-o-o-ong way to go before I need to worry about being bottomless Mark. :D

No Diabetic appointments due Northe, I've just had a whole load of them and don't expect to be seen again till September. I may call the DSN to see what she says though. I'm chuffed to bits about the weight loss, things seemed to have stalled for a while and I'm delighted that it's started coming off again.
 
I hope you feel OK after hypo wars. Great news about the weight loss thoe. I'd use it as an excuse to buy some more knickers, not that I need the excuse...
