Oh that is so unfair, you are only allowed one problem area at a time. Now have the song in my head and expect it will stay! You will survive but for now life is a bummer!
I am jetlagged here, wish I had given myself a week to recover. Anyway hope you get to sleep before 3am and wake up feeling better.
 
You can say that again ~ and thank you NJ ~ I've not experienced jet lag ~ how long does it take to get over it? Hope you've recovered from it by the time you go off on more travels🙂 x
 
Well, the end of my 1st Diabetic Month.. I have been testing since Oct 9th the date I first acquired a meter.
Since that date I have completed a total of 81 tests.
Mornings, before and after meals and some randoms. I do not test after meals I know have little affect. Plus the test strips here are costing in excess of £1.60 each.
During that period I have recorded 1 reading at 7.1 the highest with the lowest recorded at 4.1
Individual daily average highest 7, the 7.1 reading, and lowest 4.5
The high readings were the 7.1 steamed rice dumpling half the size of a cricket ball and the 6.5 was after a huge double ground beef burger and salad in a triple layered bun.
Across that time frame my monthly average was 4.9
Allowing for the 10% margn of error in testing that could be either 4.4 or 5.4.
Both still within the non diabetic range if I understand it correctly
The initial reading given to my by my GP on Sept 28th was 7.8 and classed as diabetic.
There seems to be a slight downward trend also as my weight decreased from 98 kilos to 89 kilos in that period which I would have anticipated..

I feel I may have some cause to query my initial diagnosis. I will continue this through November and December.

I trust my assumptions are correct.
Tried to insert a graph but failed miserably.

Yes Vince, all non-diabetic readings - you would not get a diagnosis based on those numbers - sounds to me like your GP was a bit premature with his diagnosis, although to be fair you have also made changes which will have helped you to maintain such good levels so perhaps you were heading down the path but have managed to avert things developing more fully 🙂

Yes N, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I was heading that way and boy, did I get some wake up call. I feel 100% better than I did 1 month ago and much of that is down to the guys and gals on this forum who I have to say are marvelous.
This has set me on a path of new discovery and even if I am not T2, I fully intend to support diabetic people wherever they are. They need that.

What a start to the morning. After several days of higher levels between 3am and 7am last night I did a gentle increase to my 2am to 4am basals.
Woke up at 6am with a 3.7 - ok not too bad for a hypo - had glucojuice - 15g carbs
Tested 15 minutes later 3.3!!!! Tested again because I was so surprised - 3.1!!!
So I've now had another 15g carb glucojuice.
3.1 is VERY low for me in recent times (I know that I'm lucky to be able to say that).
Anyhow I will shut up now because I'm obviously hypo typing 🙂

Nanowrimo is a group/movement where people aim to write a 50,000 novel in November. Obviously only a very rough draft and a lot of debate as to whether 50,000 words is enough for a novel (I don't think it is). According to statistics only one fifth of those who commit to it actually manage to complete and register 50,000 words in November 🙂

Oooh, what's your novel about, AJ? 50,000 words is enough in big print!
 
Good morning lovelies 🙂 c**p night with idiots letting more fireworks off :( 6.1 for me, @AJLang hope your levels are back up and you feel better soon hun! Have a nice day folks! :D x

LOl Bloden about the big print. The book is about a fight by Guardians to save an Abbey but it might get ruined by a dodgy councillor who accepts a backhander for it to be turned into a housing development.
