Lol!!! Alan you never nag me!! I have an appointment end of may and I am going to bring it up as I do adjust my doses but the last 6 months I have put on weight as I am feeding the insulin...and get quite a lot of hypos at work when doing physical work, so have to compensate by eating.....then night time it just creeps up!!!....it is really hard to adjust doses with the insulin I'm on....but I feel another battle on the horizon....my weight gain will play a part in my argument and hypos at work....got the acid drops next week for eyes....so will be interesting to see how that goes 🙄

Good luck Ant - stand your ground! They are saving next to nothing having you on the mixed, but causing you all sorts of problems - life will be better, so don't take no for an answer! 🙂
 
Yes mate, it was only 3-9 when I got back from work last night ? Don't ask me why the only thing I have started doing different is drinking coffee, never liked coffee or tea but started on the coffee only two cups a day, wouldn't have thought it was that but not changed anything else ?? Might get back on the chocolate at this rate 🙂

I imagine it's a consequence of the improvements you've been implementing over the past few months, plus maybe a change in weather? The coffee might have an influence also, you never know with diabetes and they do say it's beneficial! 🙂 You weren't hefting any half pigs around the shop yesterday were you? That would do it as well! 🙂
 
8.2 for me today
 
Woke up this morning feeling grand. Sun shining in the window and it's actually warm out, though the temp hasn't passed 14c yet. It is the Highlands after all. :D Did my waking test and stared in shock at the meter then did it again. The first reading said 2.1, the second 2.3! How could I be that low and not know it?

I finally got my readings up to 5.6 just now, after a brekky of toast and jam. Still feeling fine until a few minutes ago when I started to shake. As Northe said the other day, "what on Earth is going on?"

Wow! I've had quite a few like that, but usually when I see the number I start with the sweats and shakes, not later 😱 Most strange, I hope you are more settled now and that it was a one-off 🙂
