Yep bums perfectly fine lol, its actually where the DSN suggested I do my Tresiba after only using my stomach for every injection for the first month after diagnosis xx
 
Morning all, cold bright day today. Haven’t tested today, have been doing food diary for D appt coming up and fed up with the problem of getting any blood. My fingertips are always cold and it takes 2,3, or sometimes 4 attempts to get any blood. I have checked the link about finger pricking but it is blooming awkward to get any. Can’t understand it as I type a lot for work and fingers work perfectly but always cool/cold.
@Hazel glad your neurologist was nice and hope all goes well. @Flower hope your foot is improving and dear @KARNAK hope things are moving in the right direction, we are thinking of you.
Have a good weekend all, I am cleaning house and putting decorations up tomorrow!! Xx
 
Late signing in again!🙄
Woke up to a 6.1 earlier this morning.

Have a great Saturday/extended Black Friday 😛

Hey Sue, have you thought of asking your GP for a new finger pricker? When I was first diagnosed the hospital gave me one and it used to take me 3-4 attempts, even at max depth. Then the diabetic nurse at my GP took pity on me and gave me another one to try (I was complaining about the need to do it so many times and didn't know any better). Turns out the new finger pricker was FAR more reliable than the old one. No more multiple-attempt issues! So maybe you have the same thing? Just a pricker where the needle doesn't go in far enough? Worth asking for a new one when you next go for the lancels etc.
 
Good morning all.
I tested twice this morning ~ 16.3 and 15.7 Arrrrgggghhhh!
I think I might be excused these high numbers due to being prescribed Prednisone and Doxycycline yesterday for a chest infection ~ powerful drugs!
@KARNAK I trust you are on the road to making a good recovery. Lots of love and (((HUGE GENTLE HUGS))) Many thanks Baz for regular updates, you are a great supporter & friend to Ted.
@Hazel Good to hear you had a positive consultation with Neuro.
Take care everyone and for those feeling under the weather I hope you feel better soon.

Reporting a reading of 11.4 for this morning-.

On a brighter note my HBA1c result came back as 53%. As this is in range my DSN has discharged me back to my DN ar doctors surger - so the insulin dosages is working, I had my doubts with such high morning reads.

Good morning 6.4 today🙂 late on parade as my new fast broadband isn’t so fast today 🙄

Sending best wishes to everyone dealing with tough stuff at present.

Thanks for all the good wishes about my foot. 🙂Plaster cast modified so it isn’t cutting across my big toe, dressing on toe and a protective sort of little hat for it. Here’s hoping my skin might just mend - that would be a novelty! 🙂

Good to hear your biggy toe is sorted now @Flower and everything crossed that your skin will repair itself. Thinking of you as per

Thanks, I do have a depth indicator on mine so guess I could try turning it up one. I was given mine by work (GP surgery) so think it’s a pretty good one but thanks for the advice x
 
Morning all 🙂, today's score is a 4.6 😎
 
Good morning Baz here for Ted, I have not been into see him yet he has been transferred to the private hospital. I am in his apartment so can use his main computer, his staff nurse phoned yesterday to tell me it probably was not worth me coming in as he will have to undergo a series of tests through out the day. I shall go and see him today and report any new info back to you, his brother is coming up from Cornwall he has a restaurant there and left his wife in charge, no doubt he will bring a load of cooked meals to go in the freezer. Well I better get on with the chores he gave me so speak with you all later.
 
Hello all

I woke up to a 4.5 this morning. My consultant advised dropping my insulatard slightly as I was ‘sailing close to the wind’ with low 4s every morning. I’ve dropped from 9 to 7 and still seem to be in the 4s. He will advise further when I see him again on Friday next week.

Almost 15 weeks pregnant now. Getting anxious to see a bump and feel baby love as we are approaching the stage I lost Lumi at. Trying to stay calm and positive. On the plus side my levels have been fantastic through this pregnancy with only a few high numbers which the consultant isn’t worried about at all.
 
Morning all 🙂 today it's my highest score ever of 6.2 😱.
No real surprise, My first 'normal' meal since joining this club - Chinese take away - its was good. 2 hour post-prandial was 7.7 which I am pretty happy with. Now to see how long it will take to bring my BGs down a few points again 😎
 
Morning all. -5.4 on the outdoor thermometer, 6.4 on the indoor BG meter. Slept a bit better in between waking, if you know what I mean. Have got up as the pain in my back was just unbearable, two codeine for breakfast. Usually on a lovely frosty day like this we would have headed for the fells, I’ll just be headed for the sofa, again. I am not a very patient patient. Have a smashing Sunday.
 
Morning Folks

Good morning folks 🙂

@eggyg you just rest up and take it easy, must've been a really worrying time for you

5.7 for me this very frosting morning, got to pop out this afternoon and head to the shops with my grandad to pick out some Christmas cards, I write his out and me and my mum like cute which he NEVER buys so he's asked me to go along with him and pick them, my dad should be through tonight so I'll get away for some shopping too, not much else on as Bruce has pulled the big muscle in his chest and is feeling it from front to back so he cant do much

Have a nice day peeps
xx
