Before Tea/Evening Meal

5.8 🙂
 
5.1
 
Pleased with a 6.3 tonight as despite starting the day with a HS I spiked into the amber zone both after breakfast and lunch. The antibiotics both seem to raise BG and are already playing hacoc with my stomach. Also have a muggy head but I am on double the maximum dose on the NHS website.
 
Been running well above 9 all day after knocking the basal back to 15 last night. After my sensor saga at lunch time I had dropped to 7 by tea time and I decided to put my basal back up to 18 as I seem to need it at the mo.
A couple of old friends came round mine and we ordered a curry. I had a chicken shaslik (tandoori chicken with peppers and onions) and some spinach and mushroom bhaji. It was delicious and after two hours my BG has stayed at 6.9.
I'm not working tomorrow so hopefully will have a more restful night and no huge peak tomorrow morning.
 
Evening all, a rather large for me 10.5 before dinner tonight...
 
4.9 for me.
 
6.4
It’s been up and down tonight with a fibro flare.
Bleurgh!
 
Bit of a low one tonight 4.1 no lunch, stressful day at work today I was spot on 5.0 when I pulled up on the drive though
 
6.4 for me.
The first resident left the care home for her new place. She was crying because she didn't want to leave :( staff were crying too, it's horrible!
 
6.6. Been an excellent day numbers wise across the piece really so very happy. May or may not have had a hot pork sandwich for lunch but then a light tea of ham, cheese and hard boiled eggs - was pretty nice.

Then my morse code class. I love teaching it but am very tired tonight which made it hard work. My students are complete beginners so they have an awful lot to learn in the 8 weeks the course runs over.

In the office tomorrow and then not much planned for the weekend. May get out flying again on Saturday but need to be back in time got an early evening hospital appt (non-diabetes for a change!).
 
After a day of ups and downs with my BG that included physio I felt drained around 4:00 and put my head down. I woke a couple of hours later shaky, perspiring and with blurred vision - no alarm from Libre. Was 3.0 and grabbed some JBs. The 3.1 was slightly later and I hit 5.2 for supper. Having to avoid food either side of antibiotics is making things trickier!

5.6. Just discovered some features on my smartwatch where had gestures help navigate the system with one hand? The arm you wear the watch. One hand gesture is like doing the “birdie dance” beaky movement with index finger & thumb. Another gesture is balling a fist to click on an app to open. There are a few others, too. lol, I can see this causing some serious miscommunication down the pub.
 
And a 6.7 for me this fine windy evening.
 
7.6 here, we still haven't had our official notice of redundancy letters yet, even though there will probably be no residents left in the care home after the middle of next week. The joys of working for a tinpot company!
İt was very sad to say goodbye to three of our residents today, lots of tears all round. I hope they soon settle in their new homes.
