Know what you mean, I've an appointment on the 19th June that is already causing me problems! Lift is sorted, it's at the main hospital at 9:20am, was meant to have my 3 monthly injection that day so was going to try and book that for the afternoon, realised last night I cant do that either as I've to sign on that day but don't know when I'll be back 🙄 xx

Ugh! Sorry to hear that. So frustrating when something that usually behaves OK suddenly causes chaos. Hope you aren't coming down with some lurgy or other an that it's just a one-off.

Hope it comes down smoothly for you too.

Mine can be re-arranged without too much difficulty Kaylz...since the appointments are intermittent...depending on my levels I may have an appointment every few days...every week...every month or not for six weeks...so they have to be flexible...you need to give your team a call...tell them about the difficulties you're experiencing.

Its for my eyes, I'm not putting that one back, the job centre will just have to understand that, as for the nurse, the injection can be given 7 days either side of the actual due date so that's not too difficult to sort xx

Surely they have to give you some leeway for those appointments...they must.

As long as my advisor isn't off when I go in next week I should be fine, I've put the letter with my hospital appointment in my bag already, give them plenty of notice then they cant complain, surely, hopefully (famous last words) lol xx
 
Good Morning Everyone.

Codefree say 5.2
At 4.47 am
Taken when up.
Have a great day all.

At 5.15am it was 27C here and rising very quickly.


The trick is in what one emphasises.
We either make ourselves miserable,
or we make ourselves happy.
The amount of work is the same.

Good morning @Spireite72, nice and sunny here too! 🙂 Are you checking in the night yet? When I was on lantus I started reducing the doses once I started waking in the 4s 🙂

Yes I’ve done 2 so far a 4.8 and 5.0 which seemed ok so I’ve left it at 10 units so far as I’m not taking my NovoRapid at the minute as my carb intake is low and my diet isn’t giving me readings over 6

Keep checking 🙂 The role of the lantus is not related to any food you eat, but to deal with the constant trickle of glucose being released by your liver. It does this in order to provide energy to keep things like your heart, lungs, digestive system (and brain!) etc.working when you are not eating. As your insulin sensitivity is increasing, as shown by your pancreas now being able to cope with food without novorapid, it's logical that you will also need less support from lantus. I'd give your nurse a call and let her know your latest figures 🙂
