I woke up on 5.1. Close, but no cigar.:( And no fibs from The Libre sensor, I deliberately slept on my right side. I went to sleep in that position and woke up that way. I don’t move around, because it’s hard work changing position, so my decaying body doesn’t bother trying when I’m asleep. Three days time, I switch sides, as my watch keeps telling me.

Got a phone call last evening from one of the practice nurses asking how the asthma was getting on. The least of my problems, was my response. I did ask about the last time I saw the diabetes nurse, who said she would get me an appointment with the pump consultant. Haven’t heard anything, so she said she would remind Steph, the senior diabetes nurse. Things grind slowly in the NHS. I do tick all the boxes for a pump, so if I time this right I’ll get an appointment at the beginning of the financial year😎

Anyway, while I indulge in fantasies, have a good day everyone.🙂

Good grief!😱 @mikeyB , you :( a 5.1!😱

I’d be ESTATIC with that as a waking BS!:D

What are you like?😱🙄:D😉
 
Good morning 3.9 @ 07:00, 6.6 @ 09:00. Haven`t been about for a few days, been struggling with really low BS`s, yesterday evening got as low as 1.6.😱 Just about sorted it with JBs & Gluco tabs, biscuits, spoke with DSN who is going to call me everyday although I have reduced insulin (Basal) by over 10 units in the past week.🙄 We`ll see how it goes.

Nice kitchen @eggyg same colour as my previous house.🙂

Enjoy your day folks, time for another finger prick.😎
 
9.0 this morning! Why? I was really good yesterday. Been bad today, pancakes, honey, sugar, lemon juice, chips, bread and butter and now I'm talking myself out of crunchy nut cornflakes and cold milk but only cos Xand is on about carbs and frightening the wits outta me! I recorded it. Truth About Carbs. 🙄

5.6 for me. And the diabetes fairy has quite clearly gone to trouble somebody else!

Me, but I’ve belted her one out of the window.

7.1 for me. I’ve avoided all carbs today and feel a heck of a lot better, and my BGs are down loads. I’m going to ditch the shakes as they obviously disagree with me, track nutrition on MFP, and try to be as carb free as I can. And talk to the DSN about going onto insulin, I think maybe Jenny is right and I just have so much going on that it would be better.
 
05:39 BS 7.4. 🙂 Going down again!🙄 But, it wouldn’t surprise me if it goes up again tomorrow: snakes & ladders; up & down!😱 Some consistency would be nice!🙄

Aw! My 18th. Diaversary is over!🙄 Umm! Does this mean I’ve now come of age with this diabetes malarky: become a grown up; should know EVERYTHING about it? Due for a second cure in 2 years time that you lot keep going on about a cure that takes 10 years to come along?:D😉

If only things were that simple!🙄

Anyways, I’ll stop gabbing now & I’ll have some breakfast! Have a wonderful day everyone!😉

I was liking the Massive Attack but not the snot bit! Hope the snots bigger off soon.
 
6.8 this morning.. seems I got away with the pancakes last night :D I suppose insulin is good for some things. Loooooong day today at work including a meeting at 6.30pm tonight, it's rubbish when you hope to be home by 8pm when you have left at 8am.

Also doctors at 11.20am be interesting to see what they have to say and what the next steps are!
 
Morning all on this very wet Wednesday. A nice round 6 today after a no cough night. Slept like a baby, so why do I feel absolutely knackered! Typical! Big shop day today, haven’t done one for a while as have felt rubbish, sent Mr Eggy out for bits and pieces but he can’t think beyond the next meal! Wish me luck, I may be some time! 😉
 
Good morning folks🙂

I rejoined reality on 8.2. Probably due to the late arrival of last night’s food trundling its way through the system.🙄

Fell asleep in the chair last night after an exertional day and staying up late to watch the women’s football. Who cares, a sleep is a sleep, wherever you do it. Mind, I can sleep anywhere, anytime. It’s a hangover from junior doctor days, a skill that’s never left me.😎

In the village yesterday morning I was shopping in the small co-op for some infrastructure stuff, ended up with a couple of bulging bags. Not only did the assistant carry the bags out to the mobilty scooter for me, she helped me pack the boot, and worked out that if the three packs of tomato juice went in the front basket, everything would fit. Drove home whistling a happy tune, boosted by kindness.🙂

Have a good day, everyone. It’s Ash Wednesday, which I think means you have to smoke more fags, but it’s only one day, so never mind:D
