Sorry to hear this Stitch and these reshuffles are really bad for morale at work. Hoping your job reapplication is successful.
You needed that holiday but what a shocker to return to! :(

I knew a bit about it before I went away, but didn't know how it would affect me. Our team is one of the worst hit.
 
7.8 for me this morning. Last night’s infusion site change began to work normally *eventually*, but my evening was spent trying to get out of double figures after meal as the insulin was rather slow to get going :confused:
 
Morning all! A rather more acceptable 5.3 for me today. Chest still a bit bunged up but hopefully on the way out.🙂 Good to have you back, @Stitch147, but sorry to hear that your job is on the line.:(

They have to still go through the consultation stage with the unions yet, but I don't think much will change. It will all be finalised early next year.
 
5.5 for me this morning, which should be hailed as a triumph of calculation. Late yesterday evening I gave myself my 14 units of Levemir. Because I was multitasking at the time, I’d picked up the wrong pen, and bunged 14 units of humalog into myself:confused:

Right, my BG was 6.8. I calculated the number of JBs and Dextro tabs for 14 units, went bed with a book, and worked my way through this feast. Along with 14 units of real Levemir, I looked at my overnight data. There was a slight rise up to 9 early in the night, but that soon dropped down to between 5 and 6, where we are now.

I thank you:D

Impressive! Good job you went to school in an era where mental arithmetic was properly taught.
 
And I couldn’t have done that without the aid of Mr Libre. But you’re right, mental arithmetic is becoming a lost art, going by the standard of checkout staff in Top Shop, among many.:confused:

I'm sure many Top Shop staff have impeccable mental arithmatic skills - possibly moreso than mathematics professors who are too busy pondering more abstract incalculable concepts. I think lots of retail jobs are very 'till focussed' these days though - and what you don't keep using quickly fades away.

This s rather an offensive post to retail staff and in particular Top Shop staff. Totally wrong to generalise and consider other people less capable then yourself.

Relax WL... I am sure it will eventually settle

Thank you Vince ~ I hope so ~ prior to tea time it's usually about 4-5 then elevates 2hrs postprandial ~ by bedtime its back to about 5ish ~ then waking is higher! This diabetes is a mugs game isn't it?😱
 
Well, can't remember the last time I was unable to start my post with 'good morning' 😱 Woke at 5 am as normal but felt really washed out and went back to bed - just woken up! 😱 Must have picked up something - I had to abandon my run yesterday morning after only 1.5 miles and felt tired all day :(

Libre showed me as 3.5 this morning - not a worry as it reads low anyway and since I don't have basal insulin it's not a problem.

The rise in your bg’s coincided with your fracture WL and it’s clear it’s had an impact. It will come down don’t worry x
