Thought a thunder storm was brewing here last night but the sky was clear and the night was still 🙂 Good number there Rob x

I think I need to start taking my meter up to bed with me, I keep forgetting to test pre-breakfast. Although that's usually 30-60 minutes after I get up anyway, as I have to take thyroid medication at least 30 minutes before eating anything, so I usually take that when I get up, then get washed & dressed before going downstairs for breakfast. Post-breakfast readings are fairly consistently in the 6s though (they were in the 7s & 8s), so I think I'm heading in the right direction!

Good thinking there SerialLurker - I keep my meter kit and morning meds on my bedside locker so before I even get out of bed I take my bgl - the blood is warm & flows easily (This is the best time to take your waking bgl) Then i take my morning meds.

A 6.2 for me after an uncomfortably warm night and mouth breathing from a rotten cold that's just descended! :(

Sorry about your shoulder too NJ. I had to keep the ceiling fan on and it's affected my busted shoulder too! We're all broken! 😱

Morning...frustrating day in London yesterday...people arriving late...not organised...so good to get home...feet up...afraid succumbed again last night...Kit Kat...those awful extra thin Chocolate digestives (delicious)...relieved to wake to a 5.9🙄.

Afternoon Bubbs - at least you're staying in the 5's - that's good - sounds like you had a mad hatter of a day yesterday 😱 hope not repeated too often. Strips? Yes frustrating but coping - checking my food diary as to what doesn't spike - but admitting to a slice of tiramisu gateau after evening meal yesterday so 5.4 was a delightful surprise this morning :D

Yes...keeping an eye on it...been working hard today...almost four hours in the garden (well three and a bit)...grass cut...raked...swept...cuttings bagged up...ready for the dump...watered...swept...shattered...pleased with my efforts.
 
Disappointing 9.0 this morning. All my fault as I ate things last night that should be off limits. My report says should do better!!

Never mind what your report says, I admire your honesty Davo but don't fret, we've all done it and most probably we'll do it again! If it makes you feel any better, I had a slice of tiramisu gateau last night😛 x

So sorry to hear your frozen shoulder is really painful today NJ and hope you get some relief from it soon - would acupuncture help do you think? I command your shoulder to behave and wish you a good sound undisturbed sleep tonight.
I used my last test strip today - frustrating but coping best I can - don't enjoy not testing one bit! Take care xx

6.5 @ 7.15am this morning.

I wonder why frozen shoulder is a known thing for diabetics? Why?

I'm sneezing for England. I seem to have had the sniffles from November. That's not possible surely! 🙂
