Thk tsk, tsk @Carolg :D
 
It really *must* be the heat, as mine was 4.8 this morning...and last night we took a couple of friends to our local Italian restaurant, which was lovely!
 
Good Morning All.

Codefree say 6.8
At 5,00 am
Taken when up.
After a restless night, left knee causing some issues and no idea why.
Take care everyone and have a great day.

I congratulate myself warmly for each accomplishment,
then ask, "What's next?

02:14 BS 5.9. Tried to go back to sleep but, gave up when I got hungry! 04:10 BS 8.1. Even though I was still in bed & hadn’t gotten up yet. Injected, cooked & had breakfast!

Oohh! What a day I had yesterday! I woke up with a dull heat in my spine & by 11:00 just after taking my lunchtime meds after having lunch at 10:00, The heat got worse, went up to my neck & affected my breathing! Time for action! I phoned Doctor on call & was given an out of hours appointment at the Causeway hospital, which I now know where Doctor on call is based!

I was examined & I have injured my neck causing the heat sensations & although I was short of breath, caused by the heat in my neck that was like trying to breath through fire, my breathing wasn’t obstructed & not in immediate danger! Take paracetamol for the heat & see GP on Monday to get pyshio for my neck!

No more trampolining for me then: too dangerous! I thought I’d injured my back not realising it was the neck I’d injured! The paracetamol helps as does lying flat on my back with no pillow in bed! I’m be reading in bed today!

Wishing you all a better day than me today & have a great weekend! 🙂

One small note of levity, I’d thus far completely avoided any coverage of the World Cup but, there was a match being shown on the TV screen at the outpatients dept. of Doctor on call at the hospital! 🙄 :D
 
Morning all, a 9.3 for me today. Off to London soon to do the London Poppy Walk 10k for the Royal British Legion. It's gonna be hot!
 
Good morning 3.9 today
 
Morning all post cat 5.4 on the libre and 5.3 on the finger. Waking figures fairly meaningless for me at the moment as the scan goes up and the blood goes down after I've been up for a few minutes.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Hello good peeps.🙂 7.1 here after a judicious GlucoTab at 5am.😛

Hubby’s home later after 3 weeks away...I think the dogs might explode with joy when they see him! Oh, me too, of course.🙄

Metformin works primarily by reducing the amount of glucose released by your liver, which is why you tend to get particularly low levels in the mornings, at a time when your liver has been least active anyway overnight. Given you are getting repeated levels below 4.0 mmol/l I'd be inclined to contact the nurse and ask advice. Metformin is also a medication that 'establishes itself' in your system, so a dose reduction won't normally have an immediate effect, more like a 'winding down' of influence over a period of days and possibly weeks.
 
Good morning from a warm and sunny E Kent.
Hope you all have a good day. I started a new sensor yesterday and fingers crossed it looks like it’s going to be a good un. Am watching the young Tree sparrows having dust baths and grubbing around the base of the wildflowers we’ve got in the back border for the bees n butterflies

Due to a early morning before bed snack and a very cautious jab, I woke to 8.1 on the finger
 
Good morning, 5.9 after a late night as I was at a party in the woods overlooking the river Wye,
Looks like I may just have to go back to my river today for a swim, what else to do in this heat!
Have a good day everyone.
 
It's a 4.8 this am, have a good day all...
