Very late today, just forgot, accidentally on purpose! After yesterday’s amazing 5.4 back in the blooming 7s again. 7.3! 😡 Just getting over it now. Having a relaxing day after having the monsters yesterday, weather here nor there, not stepped out of the door to be fair. But doesn’t matter, everyday’s a Bank Holiday for us! Enjoy the rest of your day folks. 🙂
Good morning everyone this morning. 10.50 this morning but I was purposely keeping my BG levels higher last night after needing so many carbs yesterday to deal with low sugars. Had fun (not) yesterday when I got out of the car and for some reason fell backwards, banging my head on the car frame as I went down. This was followed by my silent migraine symptoms for several hours so don’t know whether the fall was because of the migraine or whether it triggered the migraine..
Thank you Karnak and Eggyg. I’m ok today (for me) but I hadn’t flipping had anything to drink before it happened Flipping heck can you imagine the grief if I had...
Morning all. A nice 6.5 for me this morning. My first in the 6s for a few days. I’ve been a bit all over the place over the last fortnight. I’ve been a terrible diabetic. It would have been my son’s due date on Sunday. Ended up at the pub and ate pizza, chips and a really terrible but oh so delicious dessert. Trying to get back to normal again.
I have an appointment with the pregnancy consultant at the diabetes centre this afternoon. Not sure what to expect. We still have to wait for some genetics tests before we are able to try again anyway but I will be anxious and interested to hear what they have to say today.
06:14 BS 7.1. Later today & a higher figure! Umm!🙄
Actually managed to stay awake until 8pm yesterday then slept like a log!😱 Yesterday was grey but, managed to stay dry & the cloud cover last night meant it wasn’t as cold! 🙄
A bit later than usual, for me theses days, Good Morning to you all!🙂 And as ever stay sunny on the inside!😉
Morning all, 7.4 here, was so busy working out a correction dose for too much cake last night, I forgot my overnight basal (which is only 2.5 units). Libre trace shows a nice corrective line, followed by a steady slight drift upwards for the rest of the night.
Really struggling to feel better after whatever poorly lurgy thing got me a few weeks ago but the diabetic foot clinic calls today to see what my fractures are doing - apart from hurting! 🙄
Hope the appointments go as well as possible for others attending clinics. 🙂
A 7.5 for me this morning, very cold and dull and I'm off out the door in half an hour
Hey surely things can only get better for me after the nightmares of yesterday, Bubbles was up for his bandage change, as was expected he had to be sedated but they found a slight infection in the remaining part of his tail so they will have a look at it on his next bandage change on Thursday but he might have to have more amputated and to top the day off, I'd just bolused for my tea and my NovoPen Echo broke thankfully I had a spare but I'll be straight on the phone to the health centre when I get back later this morning to sort out getting a new spare, I hope they give me a red one this time! lol
Good luck to all with appointments and I hope everyone has a nice day! xx
6.2 for me today, but I stupidly ate some chocolate last night. Always seems a good idea at the time, 1/2hr later felt sick, now affected this morning's level. When will I learn.
Good morning all, bit nippy here in Sale. 8.1 @ 7.01am for me.
Watched an episode of Endeavour, some demonic nurse killing everybody off with insulin! 😱 'They' said that the experts didn't know why hypoglycemia causes death. Is this because the series is set in the 50s/60s, do the experts know now? Just wondered.
Good morning 5.3 on a very overcast day,🙄 a bit of a nip in the air but still shorts & T-shirt weather. Going for haircut today that's if I can get past the club.😛
Morning, just, forgot again! Back in the 5s, 5.6, hurray! The creme egg obviously didn’t do me any harm! Now where’s that other one? Only joking, one a year is probably enough. No exciting plans today, the weather is pants, dull and drizzling and Mr Eggy is washing the car! He never learns. Have a terrific Tuesday and good luck to all with appointments. 🙂
Flipping heck can you imagine the grief if I had...
