House Special, congratulations! 🙂 I'm sure you'll be fine at your check - don't forget your sunglasses! :

Good morning from a very cloudy but warm E Kent.
Hope you all have a good day.
After treating a 3.2 in the wee small hours I was very pleased to see a 5.3 on Meter and Libre totally agrees.
What supprised me is what the graph showed after treating with 150 ml full fat Coke and two slices of buttered wholemeal bread with peanut butter

I fully expected to wake much higher.
 
Good morning. 8.6 for me. Where has the week gone?

Morning all and a 5.7/5.8 for me.

Oh dear brother in law just came round to say that mother in law has been up all night searching for people in wardrobes and complaining about the men clearing snow on the roof.

Oh no , I hope your MiL is calm now. Sundowing is a horrible thing.

Morning all, 5.4 here.
That makes no sense at all, @Ljc, you're on anti-bs for an infection aren't you? Your BG should be through the roof, not vice versa!

I know, I’m ??? too.
 
Well, had a fair amount of rain overnight, and a nice grey sky this morning. Bit of a relief from the heat.🙂

I woke with 2.8 this morning. That’s not a great worry, but what is is that my BG was well below range for about three hours before I woke up. I’ve always woken up when hypo, but that ability has disappeared. It’s a correct reading, I checked. Bloody DF😡

Sorry to hear that Mike :( Any chance of swapping the Libre for a Dexcom, with alarms?
 
08:07 BS 8.9. On the rise again! Grr!😡 Went to bed on 6.6. Have a fair idea that the new strips read about 0.3mmol higher & will finish off the last of my old strips before making the swichover! I forgot that yesterday & today are Bank Holidays here & my prescription for the new strips won’t be ready until Wednesday as the Health centre won’t reopen until Monday & it’s 48hrs. for prescriptions to be ready for pickup!:(

Yesterday was a day of 2 halves! Didn’t need paracetamol in the first half as there was little heat! But as the heat receded I noticed the pain in my aching shoulders & I took 2 doses of paracetamol 4 hours apart at 15:00 & about 19:30 because of the pain! I had to up my bolus doses again!:(

I’ve taken paracetamol, had 12 units Novorapid, cooked, eaten breakfast & will take a bath soon! Moving around the kitchen cooking was killing my back & shoulders! Arnica in the bath will hopefully help!

Today is still grey but, seems a bit drier & brighter than yesterday!🙂

Have a wonderful day everyone!🙂

Oh, congrats on the house special, @Spireite72!🙂

Not sure what to make of your overnight trace there, @Ljc!😱:confused:

Sorry to hear about your MIL’s confussion there, @khskel!:(

And give the BAD DF a right kicking, @mikeyB!:(
 
I've been lurking a little bit lately which is a sign that I've been slacking with my diabetes. Didn't test this morning but currently at 8.5 suppose it could be worse. I have been taking my background insulin but missing my doses when eating. Time to jump back on the wagon!

Most of us have had days when we've fallen off the wagon Emma so pick yourself up, dust yourself down and jump back on that wagon. You CAN do it and we are here to support you. Take care
