so... turns out I’m being a real sh**ty bitch tonight (most of the day actually) and I was actually hoping that maybe my set wasn’t working and my sugars were through the roof or something but nope sitting at 7.4... so turns out I’m just a bit of a cowbag.

Don’t you hate it when that happens?! 😡

... but good to hear how well you are managing your levels, especially at this time of year.
Well done

You're not being a bitch, it's the pregnancy hormones! When I was carrying the twins my OH confirms I could be difficult to live with and catered for my every whim :D
 
Didn’t low levels once act as out of control in legal cases? I’m sure I have heard that somewhere haha! Not that I have any plans haha
I agree with Lucy, grainger, it’s the good old hormones, perfectly normal in my (well, Mrs B’s) experience. Sell that to your other half and all is forgiven.🙂

There’s always plan B - just subtract 4 from your BG reading when you test. Hypos excuse anything. Well, short of murder.:D
 
Hehe! I’ve done that as well - acting really crosspatch grumpy and feeling distinctly wobbly, but checking BG and I’m either fine or in double figures.

Just goes to show you are only human - it’s not just D that messes your mood about.

Hope today is calmer and brighter. Be kind to yourself.
 
Pregnancy can do that for sure! Brilliant levels though, does that mean your cough has finally gone away?

I wish! No, still coughing but not as badly. Made some more adjustments to basal and bolus and seem to be in more control. Diabetes team think pregnancy is starting to make me more resistant plus cold now so all good fun! Feeling a bit brighter though so that’s good 🙂

Hope you have a fun New Years to lol forward to x
 
Sounds like you are diong brilliantly managing everything.
Does not cure the cold but you should be very proud of yourself.

Thank you. Doesn’t always feel like it!
 
Some of these colds are dragging on for a while for people.
It’s a shame having Diabetes doesn’t protect us from these.

Keep the fluids up and testing

Gosh these coughs linger on, but does sound like you are improving and you are doing very well.
I have had to cancel my plans, my cough has got worse and I just want to rest but my numbers are good so not feeling too bad.

Take Care NJ. Hope you are better soon.
 
Thanks and at least I can rest for a few more days. Enjoy your evening tonight, hope it's lots of fun!
I think we will be ignoring the event, as OH is back in bed feeling worse.
However it will not bother me if we don’t party. Quite happy to get some sleep.
Hope you feel better soon.
