Have stayed at a 7.something all day and am very pleased. Now, what to do about a pre-dinner injection???? Time for thought.

Great news that you have had a stable day with sensible readings Michael. Really hope you can extend that into tomorrow.
 
You and me both rebrascora. I've decided on an injection of 4 units of Novorapid 'cos I am having roast pancetta with cabbage and carrots and sauteed potatoes with rosemary. We'll see what happens tomorrow morning. Night all.

Good luck. It will very much depend on the size of your sauté potato portion. Have you been taught to carb count and do you have the Carbs and Cals pictorial reference book for assessing carbs?

Morning everyone to anyone who remembers me. I’m making a rare visit having not been on here for quite some time but have kept up to date on everyone’s progress and trials and tribulations as I’ve circumnavigated my own.

I’m now undergoing my treatment for leukaemia and doing well though the side effects are brutal on my already battered joints. Sadly I must be on the only cancer treatment that ‘assists’ you to gain weight! 🙄 However my last Hba1c was 38 with no meds so did well over a difficult period. I know I’m slipping now so I’m back reading posts in an attempt to slap myself around a bit and take control of the carbs. Exercise is more difficult at the moment not aided by managing to throw myself down the stairs just before Christmas and break my toe! What an idiot but I was a lovely all over colour for the festive season.

Well I was a 6.7 this morning which isn’t great for me but hopefully it will improve again. Last year I was regularly getting into low 5’s and it was like the diabetes didn’t exist for some time. However, it does and I need to address it.

Best wishes to everyone and keep up the good fight.

Good morning 10.2 after eating two Rich Tea biscuits at bed time, I was 4.8 at the time so thought a few slow acting carbs would be ok through the night.🙄 A slight adjustment with NR quickly brought it down to a pleasant 5.1.🙂 Laundry all washed and dried so a bit more ironing if you want @eggyg,:D weather isn`t very good raining but still quite warm we have our AGM today so expecting a rise in the service charge.🙄

Congratulations on HS @Grannylorraine.🙂

Nice to see you posting again @Amigo great HbA1c result under the circumstances.🙂

Take care folks have a good day.🙂

Errr....no thanks!
 
No I don't have the carb counting booklet. I just look and then assess. I am one of the 'lucky' diabetics who can tolerate pasta, rice, bread and potatoes et al. Sometimes I get it wrong but most times I am OK.
 
7.4 for me today and yet again it is cold and wet out there
 
Another tired 6.3 this morning. Had another restless night for some reason. Well at least all the tossing and turning must count as exercise! Should have had my Fitbit on. Babysitting day today so all steam ahead. TGIF to all you wage slaves and have a good weekend everyone. 🙂
