Hehe! I can sympathise. On my way to get my results from my OGTT when I was diagnosed I had a chocolate bar, thinking that this might be one of my last opportunities before I had been told 'officially' that I had T1 (how little I knew!!)

I'd been working all day when the doc told me patient transport would be that evening to admit me to the hospital, I went home to wait and had 2 ready meals of bangers, mash and onion gravy! lol xx

I had a call to visit the docs the next day, fearing the worse and being just after Christmas I ate best part of a box of Maltesers, again the thinking was I might never be able to eat these again.

Well I'd had a fasting test that morning and was told to come back in the afternoon to see a doctor, she tested me for ketones and they were present (I wouldn't have ended up being admitted if I hadn't had them) I wish I'd thought of chocolate or cake as I passed 2 shops on my way down the road!! lol xx

I went through rises & drops too, recently because I’m premenopausal too! I found eating an oatcake with no sugar peanut butter at bedtime, very helpful for sustained release overnight while I slept! I didn’t correct the highs because there would always be a sudden drop that could catch me out & go hypo, if I did correct!

Thank you Lanny, I'm trying this tonight x
 
Morning...up super early at 04:30...waited a bit...didn't want to be 'Billy No Mate' here on my own🙂...masses to do this morning this child care lark is never ending...more coffee before the mayhem begins...woke to a 5.7.
 
Good morning 4.9 bit stressed at the minute vikki’s appointment didn’t go to well yesterday. She lost part of the sight in one eye just over a year ago inflammation at the back of her eye( they still don’t know what caused it).shes been on and off steroids ever since. The treatment worked but the steroids have now caused a cataract that will need surgery.

Sorry to hear that Spireite.....it's hard watching those we care for in distress/suffering or receiving bad news...hopefully the surgery will greatly improve her sight in that eye...fingers crossed for you all.

Very sorry to hear this @spireite :( I hope she doesn't have to wait too long for the surgery.
 
9.0 for me. Are a bit later last night and went to bed at 8.5 with 2u of insulin (and food) still working through. Sensor ended early, so no idea what happened inbeteeen 🙄

Hope Vikki’s treatment is speedy and fully successful @Spireite72

Morning all! It's a 6.1 from me today.
 
07:02 BS 9.6. Umm! 🙄

I’m not sure which is better? My lower waking BS & very high spikes after breakfast of a few days ago, just off the antibiotics! Or, the slightly higher waking BS & slightly lower spikes after breakfast of yesterday! I’ve had my insulin, 7 units Novorapid & breakfast is still cooking! So, I’ll see, & post, after breakfast. The same breakfast as yesterday & my usual breakfast dose of 6 units resulted in over 13?

Post ear infection & antibiotics, my other readings after breakfast are okish!

It’s a grey, misty day at present! So, maybe not such a meltingly hot day?

I walked 3500 steps, there & back, yesterday afternoon at 15:00 to the nearest petrol station because I wanted freshly whipped ice cream straight from the machine! 😛. Sat down at the picnic table to enjoy the ice cream before walking back.

I was melting on the way back! :( Funny how I’d mentioned Fred, the animated weatherman, melting in the heat! 🙄 It was Mrs. Fred melting in the heat yesterday! Thank goodness I didn’t go out earlier in the day!

I enjoyed the ice cream though, guilt free too as I’d walked 3500 steps for it! :D

I’m such a slow typer, that breakfast is just about done! So, I’ll tuck in & wish you all a good morning! 🙂 I almost burnt breakfast yesterday as I was still busy typing! :D
 
Good morning folks 🙂
Dull but warm, just wish this heavy thundery weather would disappear lol
@Bubbsie if I'd known you were awake too I would've logged on, I've been awake since then too! haha
Anyways its a 4.8 for me and found out that Bruce won the captains cup at darts last night beating his opponent 4-0 🙂
Hope you all have a lovely day!! :D xx
