Certainly more relaxed @Flower thanks
 
Morning peeps 🙂

I woke up on 6.9 today, which is nice.🙂

On the subject of monitoring, my new watch has been told I’m in a wheelchair. I thought that might shut it up berating me for a slob. Oh no, I’m not allowed. I get messages every hour telling me it’s time for a roll around for a minute. :confused:

I don’t need to work out anyway. While I sleep, my heart rate is 53. Getting up sticks it up to 90, so that’s working out in my book:D

Have a good day, folks, last nice day before 2 inches of snow paralyses the North country🙂
 
Well that’s a move in the right direction Lorraine, well done.🙂

Hope the bug clears quickly, that would put your numbers up.

Not great news. The lack of sensory loss just confirms in the doctors view, together with his findings on all the other tests, that this is not diabetes related. Big deal. I knew that already. What his other findings suggest I have no idea, but they certainly had to wind up the power to get the readings they wanted. Being medically trained, if there is no evidence of MS, then I can only think of one other condition it might be, and that’s MND. The Consultant may have other ideas, of course, but the Prof in Glasgow didn’t, and his last comment to me before we moved south was “I dunno, MND?”. Cheerful bugger, like all neurologists.

That said, they may repeat MS testing because it’s three years since those tests were done, very early in the game, so it’s possible that signs were hiding. It can happen. In fact, the test is easy - plantar reflexes. Toes go upwards, it’s upper motor neurone, so likely MS, downwards, it’s lower motor neurone and likely something else. When my GP tried, he couldn’t elicit any one way or the other, which is a sign of brain death. Usually.:confused:

Have they eliminated the idea of Parkinson’s Mike? (though it tends to be a diagnosis of eliminations anyway).

I think neurologists are a bit like haematologists, they are far too scientific and clinical to bother with the ‘softer’ qualities of doctoring.

I’m still trying to dodge hospital but the strains of the chest infection and lowered Hb is giving me tachycardia. I think I’ll break out in a round of ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas!’ 🙄

I’ve just been out in car with about 15 minutes of Christmas songs on radio, and my not so dulcet tones joining in
 
HI folks a little bit late on parade today :(. Seems like members levels are mostly under control 🙂, well done @Carolg slowly reduce them numbers. A fine 5.4 for me but I did have to increase my night time Basel by 50% o_O, I actually had breakfast this morning first time in 6 months, 2 hours later a rise of 3 units sorry can`t spell mmo/l.

Hope you all have a pleasant evening.
 
Morning all. A high, for me, 7.8, but I had a very late tea as a friend popped around for 5 minutes, her words, at 5.30 and went home at 7.45! So was 8.3 when I went to bed just 2 hours later so goodness knows what it was an hour or so later. Did I mention it was fish, chips and mushy peas? 😱 Have a super Saturday everyone. 🙂
 
Morning all. Haven’t looked out of window yet. 9.9 for me this morning, so first single figure waking for months. Onward and downward.
Xmas tree going up this weekend so no more bah humbug
 
Morning all, a 9 for me today. It's our car club Christmas party tonight. Should be a good laugh.
 
Morning all, a normal 5.9 here surprisingly, having dropped from 8.9 at 10.30pm to 2.6 at 2.30am with only 2.5 units of Levemir on board.😱 (Yes, I did check I hadn’t got it muddled up with my Novorapid, before you ask🙄) Typical, the first night for ages without a Libre, so I had to get out of bed to go and test in the bathroom so as not to wake OH, (with the Libre I'd have done it all from the comfort of my bed).
While I was up testing and treating, I noticed our security lights were on, looked out, and a large handsome fox was insouciantly trotting down the drive.
 
I haven't posted a waking BS in some time! I keep getting these not quite a cold colds LRTI's, Lower Respiratory Tract Infections! Where I'm poorly, short of breath, not quite wheezing, blocked nose, a bit of coughing & my BS rises for a few days! I'm just starting to recover from yet ANOTHER one. Waking 08:27 BS 8.5. On Tuesday, past, waking BS was in the 16's & reached it's peak in the 17's on Wednesday then, steadily dropped to 12's & 10.3. yesterday!

I keep getting LRTI's every other week it seems: I've lost count! Maybe I should go see my GP to get blood tests done to see if I'm lacking anything? When I needed Iron tablets after testing earlier this year & had them, they made a BIG difference!

Has anybody else kept getting these not quite a cold colds this season! My insulin requirements are all over the place & kept me hopping on my toes! I feel poorly for a few days but, it takes a full week to get my BS back to normal. I'm ok for about a week & then another one comes along! What would I be like without the Flu vaccine?
