7.1 @ 8.55am which isn't bad if you knew the rubbish I'm eating. I can't seem to pull myself up, just meandering along oblivious. Trying to get on the SlimFast liver diet, leave the makings out daily, put them away when I get up and get out the frying pan.
Where are the smileys? Nothing's lighting up for me.
Yes that will be on my notes now that I asked to be tested for it, will have to set them straight on that score when I next go in haha. Don’t think they have even tested for a water infection 🙄
However my daytime levels are going ridiculous currently. I was warned that the diabetes would become harder to control as the pregnancy progresses and it looks like it’s finally caught up with me.
This morning my usual breakfast sent me up to 8.1 whereas I don’t usually go above 7 with it. I just did a pre-tea test and am at 10.1. I haven’t eaten for hours. The consultant isn’t worried and knows I know to increase my insulin accordingly but I hate that I’ve gone from excellent control to being regularly high at the moment. With our history I’m terrified of hurting baby.
5.5 for me (although 3.7 if you believe my sensor 🙄 its starting to tail off, due to be changed tomorrow afternoo)
Treated myself to some different shower gel the other day, 2 original source scents, raspberry & rhubarb and raspberry & vanilla, think I'll try the rhubarb one out first (it's the little things lol)
Hello Everyone
6.6 this morning. A good eating day yesterday, but it always seems to take a few days for readings to go back down after a 'splurge'
Could do with going for a really long walk - but looking out the window, I don't think I will!
I can see them on the blue bar above, but they don't 'light up' for me to click on! Very frustrating. Wonder what I'm doing wrong?
Morning all, very blustery here in Sale. 6.6 @ 5.19am. Think I must have gone very high after bowl of mash and onion gravy for tea, then back down again, plus stressed.
My Type 2 friend has been told her readings are 'off the scale.' Her own measurement just said Hi and wouldn't give numbers. Doc came out about other blood stuff but then said he'd send her results to the surgery and she must be seen before next week ie before the weekend. Her doc said she must be seen immediately so she phoned her surgery, but rather late in the day. When she phoned the receptionist told her she didn't just have her to deal with and has ignored her. Disgusting.
Morning all. Drum roll please. 5.8, haven’t seen a 5 since Adam was a lad! Weird, as the previous two mornings of higher readings I’d been out for brisk 1.2/2 hour walks the day before. Yesterday I never left the house! Ah well that’s D for you. Going to the fishmongers this morning for two nice thick cod loins for a Spanish fish stew for tonight then daughter number two visiting and we’re going to start on the wedding invites for her wedding in July. It’s all go. Have a super Saturday. 🙂

Straight 8 again, but the indulgences continued and will be today, so as if tomorrow I will go back to eating well as I need to lose 1st by June for a wedding, which shouldn't be difficult, but not if I carry on they way I am at the moment.
