Thank you very much Carol. My wonderful local glaucoma consultant emailed just 20 minutes after the scan to say that my optic nerves were still stable 🙂
Good morning everyone. A nice 5.2 after a 4am correction. Got signs of another retinal bleed - not sure that I can face the thought of more laser in that eye, various eye doctors have commended me for having so much laser already. Anyhow I have retinal appointment next Wednesday that the local hospital hadn’t told me about (it was meant to be in January, thank goodness that I also have Moorfields looking after me).
7.8 for me this morning, might be needing another unit basal popped on but we'll see what fasting levels are like the next couple of mornings before deciding, al fun and games eh? lol
dulling down here now even though it was beautiful when I got up at 6
6.2 for me after a longish excursion into the 9's last evening. You see, I found this small game pie in the freezer yesterday and shared it between lunch and tea. Looks like pastry, even in small amounts, is off the menu.
A very nice and back to normal for me, 6.2. A nice, bright morning, babysitting today so hopefully we can have a play in the garden. Have a fab Friday everyone. 🙂
Joining @khskel on the 5.7 step, after one of the best sleeps I have had in years, went to bed at 8.30, slept until 2.30, then went straight back to sleep until 7.45 (Oops as that is the time I should be pulling of off my drive to go to work).
Good morning folks woke up to 7.1 scan, this sensor is usually a tad over one point lower than a finger jab.
That was bad enough but the overnight graph was awful , I shot up to 15 😱 with a gradual decline from 02 00 .
I Haven’t been able to work out why yet.
7.2 for me - back on the low/no carbs out of sheer desperation, but at least I’m lowering again. Slept a lot better too, now the trudging back and forth to the loo all night has stopped.
Have a good one my friends, it’s a beautiful day here.
03:16 BS 8.8!😳 I've only gone & done it again: forgot my Midnight Levemir; ONLY 3 hours late this time! I went to bed early yesterday just before 6pm & was groggy when the Midnight alarm woke me & I dozed off again!🙄 I'm thinking maybe I should shift my Levemir doses to more normal times but, that would be problematic during periods of insomnia, which happens quite a lot, when morning meds may be taken at different times: not good for any meds but, particularly bad for blood pressure! I'm 90 percent of the time up around noon, wherther sleeping or not sleeping well, & that's why that's been my established time for all meds since 2011: essential with the switchover to insulin & MDI with Levemir!🙄
A VERY early Good Morning to you all!🙂 Was definitely cooling yesterday & last night! So, I wish you all bright sunshine on the inside to offset the cooler weather on the outside!😉
Good morning from sunny but windy east Kent . I have a line of washing to hang out well pegged down of course to stop it visiting the neighbours . I haven’t read any posts here yet ,so I hope all is well with everyone. I have 20 more minutes to go till I can start sorting my brekkie out and my poor tum is demanding to be filled so I am going to distract myself with a word search game.
Oops nearly forgot .Woke to 6.2 meter 5.7 scan, which reminds me , I need to order more sensors .
Good morning all. Surprising 6.1 for me this morning. Early to bed and early ish awake. Off for haircut, viewing house with daughter then shops in afternoon. That will rack up the steps. Bit dreich here today. Winter woolies on I think
