Good morning my lovelies!!

@Northerner good luck with your course today, I hope you walk out with a prescription pending! 🙂

Odd day yesterday, reduced my breakfast bolus as been noticing I'm dropping by about 1mmol by lunch and was going out so didn't want to risk anything, get home, make coffee, sit down and bam hypo hits me 🙄

Anyways pic attached for my waking (well almost an hour after getting up lol)

Hope you all have a lovely day!

I haven’t looked at this thread in ages.
Good morning Northerner. I hope that you have a good day on the course.
I am amazed at how much I learnt from the videos that have been done from the webinars for the Libre.
@everydayupsanddowns posted a link to them along with a list of the topics, and more have been added since.
https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/board...n-programme-launches-tomorrow-20-march.80156/There is stuff in there that I wish I had known pre-Libre, but I think it just shows what access to the info the Libre gives us has done to management of T1 in general.
Have a good day.

Thanks for the links, @SB2015. I just ‘flash n go’...there’s bound to be tons I don’t know!🙂

Morning all.🙂 12.3 here...eh? I suspect hormonal activity but, as we all know, Venus not being aligned with Mars could be to blame.🙄

There was a total eclipse yesterday in South America, that's bound to have played a part... 😱 🙂

5.7 today. Wish me luck everyone as I am off to the breast clinic today after finding a lump, have not let this worry me as most likely it is nothing to worry about. Anyway not expecting to find out results today, I am expecting to have a mammogram and possibly a biopsy.

@KookyCat my numbers have been a bit more erratic since my half ever kicked in.

@Northerner hope the course goes well and you get that prescription

@ stitch hope the physio can sort you out.

I was confused last night, hence my post. Ended up having 3 units of Novorapid and 18 units Toujeo. 2 am this morning what I call a 'benign' hypo, ie. it woke me up and I dealt with it, biscuits and what passes for jelly babies in Spain. At 7.30 BS was exactly 5. After a 2 km walk it was down to 3.2 so a sandwich was necessary.

Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up on 7.2. I know why, so no panic. It’s in range anyway🙂

I didn’t get wheezy at all yesterday, the only excursion was nipping out in the wheelchair to post a birthday card. Here’s how the wheelchair life gets a tad frustrating....



That car now has a an extra feature on its bodywork in the form of an attractive line along the near side body panels. Not my fault, I’m not allowed to drive on the road in my wheelchair. I don’t mind folk parking two wheels on the pavement, but it’s actually illegal not to leave room for a pushchair or wheelchair. And no, I can’t drive round it because the kerb is too high. Thoughtless or pig ignorant? I’ll leave you to decide.

Anyway, aside from that, young Kieran turned up to deliver my bookcase with his mate. Bit embarrassing for the lads, the folk at the delivery centre hadn’t loaded it onto their van. Not exactly an urgent delivery, though. Could have been coffee beans or such.🙄

Today is England v New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup. Not a problem. It’s a lovely day, have to nip into the village to pick up a prescription. I’ll do that on the mobility scooter, of course, which eliminates any acts of disability defiance, as I politely pull over to allow buses to get by. I overtook an Aston Martin DB9 the other day. It was parked up, mind. We can but dream

Have a good day folks, be mindful about how you park.🙂

Well I woke up to an 8.9 yesterday. I've had a series of higher readings recently but pretty sure they have been due to a bout of stress.
My sister came over and took me to my appointment with the Consultant. He confirmed I am Type 1 (does anyone know how to change that on my profile?) but that doesn't really change anything as regards treatment or lifestyle. I will continue with NR and Levemir at the current level and I intend to continue to eat a very low carb diet and minimise NR use. He has put me down for a Dafne course and I go back to see him the end of October. He doesn't want to split my Levemir dose at the moment and is open to discussion about Libre but not at this stage.
Spent a lovely day with my sis which always destresses me and my BG readings came down as a result. I was 6.3 at bedtime and 4.6 this morning. Hopefully I can maintain that mental balance and those levels until her next visit!

@Grannylorraine Hope it all goes well today and the staff are able to give you some reassurance even if actual results are not available.
@MeeTooTeeTwo Thanks so much for posting that rhyme. It gave me a real chuckle.

 

[Grannylorraine]

Just got home from the clinic and had something to eat, provisional results have given me the all clear, the tests have to be followed up, but they are pretty certain it is nothing to worry about. Was a bit stressed when I first got there as when I was examined by the doctor he found a lump in my other breast, so my immediate thought was, this is not looking good, but thankfully it didn't turn out bad.

Thank you all for your good wishes

Good to hear you have had your type confirmed 🙂

To update your Type here, click on your profile name on the right of the top menu bar then select 'Personal Details' - Type is one of the options 🙂

Good to hear Lorraine, hope you get the all clear when the other tests come through 🙂

 

[rebrascora]

@Northerner Thanks for that. I had tried editing the "information" section of my profile details which didn't work, not sure why I didn't spot the "Personal Details" option. Now done. Cheers.

Well done for going and getting it checked out so promptly and so pleased for you that things are looking positive. Fingers crossed the test results back that up.

Oh dear, dear, dear! Just back from physio & sitting back in bed with a massive hypo hangover! But, I’ll be prepared next week. 😱🙄

Had an early lunch around 11:15 with my meds, Midday Levemir & Novorapid before heading off to physio at 1pm. More examinations of doing all sorts, forgot to mention last week & this week’s the same, in my underwear so, he can see my shoulders & neck. Although this time he didn’t tie my hair back with the scrunchy I bring with me: I, in italics, can’t do it; he can except that men are clumsy at tying a lady’s hair back! 🙄 My movements & strength had to be reassessed again & now I know to expect that every week! 😱🙄

I am indeed stronger this week so, he’s given me 2 very gentle shoulder stretches to add to my neck stretches. As I was leaving I suddenly felt very weak down my right leg & was limping as I felt it couldn’t support my weight! I alerted the physiotherapist right away who checked my responses, reflexes etc. etc. & I sat in waiting area for it to go away. Then, when I started to just feel the hypo shakes did I realise the reduced Novorapid dose for lunch was still maybe too high especially with all the exertions of examinations: him trying to stop me moving; testing strength. I had no room for a testing kit in the tiny handbag I’ve carried around for ages now. But, ate both bags of mini drumsticks squashies I always carry with me now when out & about. Waited 10/15 minutes before the shakes just started really taking hold then, subsiding & I felt the hypo hangover headache. I was so relieved: it really was a hypo & not something seriously wrong with the nerves on my right side & leg.

After another 30 minutes or so I eventually left the physio hospital & their very nice & relieved staff: keeping an eye on me the whole time. I tested just before posting this at 15:44 BS 7.4 after my appointment when the hypo happened was around 13:35/40 so, it’s not very high after 2 bags of sweets which are = to 4 jelly babies. But, ohh do I FEEL rough: like I had a 2mmol hypo! 😱

I must have a lot less insulin with lunch next week before going to physio! 🙄

That’s great news, am very happy to hear it. I also had the same thing a number of years ago and it is scary but thank goodness you are ok. Large glass of wine should be in order me thinks!!!
