Oh heck (((hug))) . Being a retired person I no longer have to put up with them.
 
Good morning folks. I looked out the window yesterday and couldn’t believe my eyes , sleet , it lasted all of five minutes.
Woke up to 7.4 , my own fault as yesterday I forgot I now needed 4.5 units of basal not 4 .

Hope you all have a good day.
 
08:42 BS 8.1. Didn’t have a good night as I almost threw up twice in the night!😱

I was a bit more relaxed about testing yesterday & only did 3 tests:- waking, before dinner & 2 hours after dinner; 5.3, 5.3 & 7.3. Went to bed as usual just after the after dinner test at 19:39, maybe asleep by 8pm? I wasn’t really hungry at dinner & ate lightly: brussels pate on oatcakes. I woke just after 23:30 to go to the toilet & when I was vertical I felt really bloated & full. I was face down in the sink having a trying to throw up coughing fit but, didn’t vomit! I went back into bed just as the midnight alarm went off, took my Levermir & tested 00:02 BS 10.4. High but, I put it down to the stress of the toilet trip. I lay in bed but, couldn’t sleep as I still felt very bloated. Around 04:30 I had another trying to throw up coughing fit that sat me up in bed. Let’s just say I released some gases & I could taste the pate I’d eaten for dinner. After that I felt much better & fell asleep around 06:00/06:30 ish?

Considering that when I checked with my DSN my blood test results a few days ago & my liver function was a bit off, this is the first sign I’ve had of difficulty digesting fat? The pate was quite fatty as I was eating, I thought: was trying out Sainsbury’s own brand!

I’ll have to call tomorrow for an urgent app. with Doctor **** as in one of the letters I received on Saturday & see what’s up?

I’m up but, still a bit tired & the last thing I want to do right now is eat! So, usual half oatcake & half usual breakfast dose of Novorapid & try to get some more rest!

I hope you all have a better day than me! Propping chin up for a 🙂 Best I can do I didn’t pepper the post with a single frown & I’m not going to now!
 
Morning all, a 9.4 for me today. No work until Saturday for me this week. 3 weeks until we fly off to Vegas to start our America adventure. I'm gonna start sorting and packing this week.
 
Good morning all🙂

I woke with 7.6, which is a minor miracle considering last evening’s curry:confused:

Went down into the village yesterday afternoon for some supplies. Bit windy and cold, but sunny. Bit busy, too, lots of cyclists about, shouting cheery greetings like “Lazy bugger”:D

For some reason got back very wheezy. Might have been the various 4x4s and buses I got stuck behind. That’s all you drivers polluting the world. Still, at least I’m not a baby in a pushchair.🙄

Anyway, after that exertion fell asleep in the recliner last night, and woke up at 7.30 feeling awful, wobbly and aching, so I’m waiting to see if a triple shot Americano, CBD oil, morning Levemir and two paracetamol can turn me human. Usually works🙂

So, while I’m regenerating, have a good day everyone. Weather’s back to normal, so get out and enjoy the flattened daffodils🙂
 
7.1 for me. Nice out.
 
Good morning 8.8 forgot night time Basal.😳 Good day yesterday Guinness was flowing well, mind you I have to agree with @mikeyB about the quality of water used to make it.🙂

@merrymunky just try to rest when you can, your doing great with the walking.🙂

Hope you have a more relaxing day than night @Lanny.

Have a good day folks.🙂
 
11:55 BS 7.5. Didn’t sleep but got some rest & feeling better & hungry now. So, will have my midday meds, insulin basal & bolus & eat! I think I will throw out the rest of the pate to be sure, to be sure: Irish side of me coming out!🙄

I don’t think that Hannah actually hit us at all or was it just confused with the tail end of Gareth?🙄 It’s a very black looking day: overcast with black rain clouds; not nice Bank Holiday weather!😱

A much more enthusiastic have a good day everyone!😉
 
Diabetes sucks. 11.3 this morning x
 
Ok so I’m trying to get some understanding behind my blood sugars with the libre. Anyone shed some light on why they’re like a yo-yo overnight? How do I try and even it out?

05:57 BS 9.7. Not surprised as my sleep was quite disturbed with the pain & discomfort of my shoulder! Have had my half oatcake & half my breakfast dose, would be 30 units Novorapid for the higher BS so, 15 units, & try to get some more rest before I face the phone pile up at 08:30. Know I WILL get an appointment this time but, still have to go through the phone queue! Hopefully it’ll be an early urgent appointment then, after I’m seen, will join the hordes at the treatment room to redo blood tests. At least I’ll know what’s up after it niggling me all weekend, lengthened by the Bank Holiday!

I wish you all a better day!🙂 Take care folks!🙂
