A 6.5 for me this morning.

Confession time...feel free to lecture in sharp tones 😳 I’ve managed to get something in my foot. Nothing massive but it made it painful to walk and it had a red bleb round it. I’d never get a doctor’s appt and I don’t have a diabetic clinic so my husband has sorted it and managed to get it out without too much pain and no bleeding. He used a sterile scalpel and extracted it from quite deep in the soft tissue. It feels much better now and I’ve got Savlon and a dressing on it. He’s very adept at these things and took out my stitches after the nurse botched them up and left two in!

Note to self...stop walking around with bare feet! 😱

@Amigo YOU TAKE CARE>>> OK?
Not wanting to sound alarmist Amigo, my late ex-mother-in-law who was a type one did a similar thing. The net result was she developed gangrene in her foot from the wound and had to have 2 toes amputated. Please get it checked.PLEASE.

I’ll keep a close watching brief on it Vince don’t worry. I’ve become expert at detecting infection in myself with a busted immune system. Thanks for your concern though. Nasty experience for your ex ma-in-law!

Morning all, a rather annoying 10.6 for me today. Had dinner earlier than normal last night and that consisted of an omelette, salad and about 8 chips! So frustrating! :(

@Stitch147 I really feel your frustration. Is there another GP at your surgery who could help?

Oh my gosh, keep an eye on it of course. I never wear anything on my feet, can't bear to, just pull trainers on if going out and then they're off before I even take my coat off. Mum goes crazy "Get something on your feet" and she's not even thinking about the D. Doesn't realise I've got that, just believes in slippers. I even nip out into the garden in bare feet so I can understand how this happened. Thank goodness for your competent hubby.

7.2 @ 7.31am for me this morning.

Good Morning/Night/Morning Everyone.
Pleasant Dreams All. Let’s show the World tomorrow how too live well.

Accu-Chek say 5.0
At 5.04am

Had to get up to visit the “little boys room” at 1.15 am
Thought I would take a reading en route
First time I have done that through the night
I gave a 5.2 reading.

Tonight I will stay in Kunshan and tomorrow will go climbing a mountain with the local Government officials in Kunshan as I will move into a bigger factory next year funded by them so must have some “connections”, 广西guang xi. Connections are very important here, without 广西nothing gets done quickly if ever at all.
Should be “fun” haha! (tongue in cheek).
The things I do in the name of commerce, 67 ears old and climbing ruddy mountains in midst of Winter.
Need my head examining.
***UPDATE Phew!!! Raining heavy here so managed to get out this "event", lol
Get lucky sometimes.
WIll cost me an expensive dinner instead next week sometime. That I can handle.

Morning all.🙂 5.3 here.😛

Aw, I love the greyhounds on their loveseat @Greyhound Gal! :D

Bloden’s Mum has just had (more!) puppies - it’s a good thing we’re moving in the New Year, otherwise we’d have been a 3 dog family again...very unlike me, must be coming down with something!🙄

Hope your foot heals ASAP, @Amigo.
 
Morning all. 5.8 for me and 5.6 (5.5 blood) post cat. Expected to be higher after a prober wobbler of a hypo last night. I wish all sensors were like this. I've used very few strips with this one.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning everyone. I'm beginning to want to scream about these nigh time hypos. 3.1 at 5am, had 30g of fast acting carbs but still only 4.7 at 7am. I think I need to be more ruthless with these basal reductions.
 
Good morning 🙂

Slightly later than usual but thought I'd wait till I was on the laptop, trying to save my phone battery as been downloading some films and Christmas songs onto the laptop so need the power for bluetoothing them over (yes I know I'd be much quicker just putting the memory card in the laptop and transferring things that way but hey I'm old school lol)

6.6 for me this morning, and very chilly here, hat is on already and so is the heating for an hour!

Hope everyone has a lovely day and wrap up warm my dearies!! :D xx
 
Morning all. A 6.6 here. I upped my Lantus 4 days ago now to counteract the increase in BG from the TB drugs, but looks like I may have to go higher. I'll give it a couple of days to see if it settles down first 😡

That’s ‘old school’?! I can’t even pretend to understand what you just explained - I must be ‘ancient school’ then.🙄
