Good morning all. Cold and rainy here.
8.0 for me this morning.
Bloods this afternoon...fingers crossed for better results.

Good morning 🙂 4.0 for me today.

Off early doors for trigger finger release surgery again, my 5th finger to get stuck bent over. Will my blood sugar behave itself in the operating theatre? to be continued ....

I too hope it goes smoothly and that you BG behaves.

Fingers crossed you have great results.

 

[Ljc]

Good morning folks. I woke witha we’ll deserved 7.2

 

[Carolg]

Fingers crossed you have great results.

Thanks Ljc. Here is hoping. Certainly a lot of better numbers since December starting on insulin. Fingers and toes crossed

Morning folks, forgot to check in earlier as I was so excited! 5.3! So near, yet so far! Hope it’s not a fluke, maybe @Northerner is right it’s because spring has sprung! Was 12 degrees here yesterday, positively balmy! Have a wonderful Wednesday, I’m going sideboard shopping! 🙂

Good morning gang🙂

I had a visit from the Diabetes Fairy last night. I went to bed on 7.1 after last night’s curry, and when I woke up for a wee in the middle of the night, I was trundling along in the middle of the range. 6.2. So, woke up at 6.30 for no reason, but checked BG to make sure I wasn’t low. 12.5. I’d run along in range all night, then around 5.30 the line took off.

Explain that. No Humalog in me, just Levemir taken around 11.00pm. No food for 9 hours. So, a correction has got me to 6.8 for getting out of bed.

If that isn’t the Diabetes Fairy, I don’t know what is. Doesn’t worry me, I just wanted to tell the story so that folk can see that sometimes stuff just happens.

Anyway, I’d best go and get showered and shaved so that I don’t look like a geriatric wreck when Mr Tesco arrives.

Well, okay, less of one

Have a good day everyone, apart from Flower, who will have to forego violin practice till the stitches are out.🙂

10 for me today after a curry last night.

 

[KARNAK]

Good morning 8.8 after spending 6 hours at hospital yesterday. Saw Orthopaedic Surgeon who was very happy with the way my foot was healing,😎 although first signs of Charcot foot as the Podiatrist thought so, have to go back every month for check up.🙄 Also saw hospital DSN who asked me to reduce back ground insulin, hence the reading this morning.🙂

Good luck @Flower.🙂

Congrats on HS @khskel.🙂

Bloods this afternoon...fingers crossed for better results.

Shouldn't be anything but good @Carolg.😉

How`s @Grannylorraine feeling today?🙂

Weather is brilliant today, looks like a bit of sunbathing. Take care folks.

Good news about the foot Ted 🙂

Sure is Alan, glad your shins are healing nicely.🙂

Rant alert!

02:56 BS 4.7. Not waking as I can't sleep! I tested because I thought my BS might be high but, they're not!🙄 My BS has been fine all day, if a bit on the low side, & I don't know why neuropathy is rearing its ugly head!😡

The nerve endings in my spine are SCREAMING their heads off!😱😡 My spine has been tingling of & on all day today but, come nighttime & I have no relief with an increase in pain, freezing sensations & burning heat! I haven't had neuropathy this BAD since 2017 shortly after diagnosis! The pain was so bad it went all the way up to the back of my neck, partially paralysing my breathing & I ended up at A&E! I was prescribed Prabgablin for a week to calm down the agitated nerves but, actually ended up on them for over 3 weeks: turned into a zombie & didn't realise how long I took them for as I imagined restricted airways every time I tried stopping! I finally managed to stop taking them when I realised my breathing was fine & I didn't REALLY need them anymore. I returned what was left to the chemist so, I wouldn't be tempted to take anymore!

It was cold & wet all day today & tonight it's very stormy outside! It's freezing so, have the heater on as being cold heightens everything. Breathing is fine & I'll put up with the screaming nerves, still confined to my back, until I can see my GP in the morning. But, I AM on the lookout for any paralysed breathing signs & will go to A&E if that happens!

I'm tempted to take painkillers but, I know they won't work! If I have to take Prabgablin again to calm down the nerves then, so be it! I'll ask if there's an alternative!🙄

Thanks for listening! Just posting this is making me a little better! I'm exhausted but, can't sleep as THAT is when I feel the nerve pain the most; distract myself & I'm less concious of it!

Sorry to hear you are in such pain @Lanny I hope it has eased by the time you read this {{{HUGS}}}

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 6.8 for me today 🙂 It was a lovely Spring-like day yesterday, and we are promised more of that today! 🙂 Hurrah! 🙂

 

[Ljc]

Sorry to hear you are in such pain @Lanny I hope it has eased by the time you read this {{{HUGS}}}

Sorry to hear this @Lanny . I hope the pain eases soon .

 

[Ljc]

Good morning folks.
Woke to a horrid 10.3 on the finger. As I feel really rubbish at that level I corrected it and am feeling much better .
Hope you all have a good day.

 

[khskel]

Morning all and 6.4 for me

First burning question of the day, rubbish or recycling.

Birds singing outside. If this weather continues I might be tempted to get the Mini out of hibernation.

Have a good day everyone.

 

[Ljc]

Lanny. I’m wondering if it could be that those nerves are now recovering and that’s why your in so much pain.
Neuropathy can be painful going as well as coming. I hope you can see your gp today.

Gentle {{{hug}}}
