Group 7-day waking average?

[Carolg]

Morning all, 7.2 here.
Gliclazide works by stimulating your beta cells to churn out insulin all the time, @Carolg .but if you ain’t got enough beta cells left for it to work on, no way is it going to help!

Well, I knew it was to stimulate cells to produce insulin but couldn’t understand why I was getting it if not producing insulin, and also why fife don’t do c-peptide so they know what pancreas is doing. I can only assume as well that weight is going down again as sugars are high. Bl**&y fed up with it all

Bl**&y fed up with it all

I’m not surprised! You seem to have been left to struggle for ages. I spent 9 months on Gliclazide with it not doing much, at least I got it backed up with basal insulin after six months, while the hospital faffed around doing a GAD antibody test and filing the result without telling anyone it was positive. But luckily my GP was proactive, in referring me to the hospital in the first place, and chasing up and insisting my next appointment was brought forward when my BGs were still in the teens.

Thanks Eddy.

Good morning a HS on this glorious day 🙂. Washing machine is working away get it all done before MRI scan. Still in shorts & T shirt 20.c on outside balcony, might get a bit of sunbathing in before scan.

shorts !!! Oh my gosh, I’ve got my thermal vest on, cardi and scarf and gloves. Still get into work like an iceberg. Thermal fluffy drawers next week.

You’re not dense, Carol, they are. Weight loss and high BG means a defunct pancreas in my book. The longer they linger, the more you are at risk from DKA, particularly taking Sitagliptin. You need to see a consultant ASAP to get yourself sorted properly. Ring your nurse tomorrow.

And you’re flogging a dead horse taking Gliclazide, for sure.

I didn’t know Fife was that much of a backwater that they can’t do a C-Peptide test. Are they still tasting urine in Dunfermline?

I feel like a mumping Minnie. BG not just in teens but in 20,s at times as well. Sorry, this is depressing, but thanks for sharing your history, as it makes me feel less useless

They wouldn’t get near my urine for its sweet smell. At least I was proactive and asked for wee to be checked for infection, she said it was clear.
Do they not like to take that final step to injectables? They are mentioning it. I know I didn’t respond well to discussion re insulin, but That was way down the line. It was my psychological baggage at that time. And now I am just tired of it all. Don’t want to eat but do, and trying to get a bit weight on.eh gum never mind, I will ask nurse to be referred to hospital consultant

Friday at last. It's been a grind of a week workwise.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, 7.0 here. Maybe time to raise basal to winter rate. I did it once, a few weeks ago, and had to put it down again a couple of weeks later.

 

[Northerner]

Morning all, 10.2 for me today.

 

[mikeyB]

Good morning gang🙂

My basal adjustment has worked just fine. Woke on 5.3 after a nice even line through the night. 😎

Nice to get one bit sorted. Now for brekkie...two cold sausages, two Tramadol, two Asacol, and morning Levemir. Plus a bit of Humalog for the brown sauce. 3 drops of CBD oil, a pint of tea and I’m ready for the world. Easy peasy🙂

Yes, went for MRI scan in said attire same again today 🙂.

Good morning 6.4 partly cloudy suns over the beach but not for long me thinks. MRI went ok but threw a bit of a wobbly/hypo after scan finished, managed to catch it before it went to far.

Hope you are all as well as can be expected 🙄, have a good day.

 

[Brando77]

Five dozen 6.0. That was low for me....at 4.30 though.
