Teds Not well

[SB2015]

It sounds like you have a good DSN, and good to hear that they are putting you forward for the Libre with alarms. When do they think that those are going to become available?

Out of interest for your injection what needles are you using? I was switched to GlucoRX needles which gave. Me a bruise each time I used them. I got switched back to BD Microfine and also use 4 mm length which seems to minimise bruising.

Take care.

Good morning @SB2015, DSN I have never met before but a lovely person. The needles I use are BD Viva 5mm, but she was more concerned about the other bruises away from the injection points, really can`t explain them. Blood pressure is a lot lower now so hopefully more stable, take care my lovely.🙂

Good to hear from you Ted. Well you’re certainly giving you team plenty to think about and sounds like they are on the case and being very proactive. Great that they spent so much time with you. Libre will certainly be very helpful and hopefully help you feel more confident that you’ll be able to head off those nasty hypos. Good to see BP lower, maybe a bit of white coat syndrome yesterday didn’t help?

Anyway, if Paignton is anything like the New Forest today, I’m guessing it’s full of tourists, enjoying the lovely weather. Wishing you a relaxing incident free weekend🙂

Thanks Lisa great to hear from you, Paignton is choc a bloc.🙂 The fair is already up and running and the circus opens at 14:00 hrs, beech is fairly crowded already.🙄 Nice smooth sea great for the kids and lots of boats in the water.😎 I`ve been to the new forest camping, got invaded by donkeys after grub but a lovely area. Take care, have a good day.🙂

So good to hear that your BP is lower Ted and that your diabetic team are on the ball and putting the wheels in motion for Libre and looking at your general wellbeing.
Hope you have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend in the sunshine. I will enjoy mine with a more easy mind knowing you have been thoroughly checked out and things are afoot to help you manage your levels better. Sending hugs.

The DSN sounds like a keeper. Look after yourself, Ted!

Thanks Barbara & Eddy, had two flipping hypos today.😱 Hope you have a great weekend, not sure if its the same for you Eddy.🙄 Feel like c**p at the moment great to hear there are friends on board.🙂

I do hope you manage to find some stability soon Ted 🙂 Hopefully, a Libre will help, although personally I think they should stretch to a full CGM with alarms, given the unpredictability of you hypos, and how quickly they tend to fall {{{HUGS}}}

Thinking of you Ted xx

 

[KARNAK]

Thanks friends, always thinking of all of you.xx

 

[rebrascora]

Must have been a day for hypos yesterday. I had 2 as well! Maybe the weather. Nice to know I was in excellent company with this! Hope things settle down for both of us soon. Sending more HUGS.

Thinking of you too Ted, take care in this heat x

 

[KARNAK]

Stupid me Lucy, went out for lunch, ended up on the floor. BS went too low 1.7 😱. Nice ambulance people I think I`m in trouble, how are you my friend?😎

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Oh no Ted, I'm so sorry to hear that. You're having such a bad time. How are you now? X
I'm doing good, thank you for asking x

 

[KARNAK]

I`m ok Lucy, nice day for hypos yesterday Barbara, and today.

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Too true...luckily I seem to have dodged them, but I've always got tomorrow to look forward to 😱😎

Geebus, Ted - can't they do anything about this? But I really admire your spirit!

This weather is playing havoc at present. I find I need to be quicker at changing with the weather, but it is so dependent on what you are doing, and then add in being out for a meal. You are having a hard time at present @KARNAK, but are an inspiration to us.

 

[KARNAK]

Thanks Eddy It looks like they are going to change my Basal to a different type, Tresiba was mentioned not sure at the moment. On a lighter note Paramedics sent me an early Christmas card, said I was keeping them in a job and oh just in case I don`t make it.😱

You`re all an inspiration to me, were would I be without all the knowledge I have gained from this forum. Not only D related but any other topics too, take care.🙂
