Very good considering I only had one carb heavy meal yesterday at lunchtime and therefore only one lot of metformin.
I’m doing as ok as I can be I think. I’ve been hiding away mostly but have had a couple of outings. Had s counselling session today and actually managed to not cry. I am still quite numb but furious at this situation to be honest.
I’m sure you are, and of course it's very early days so still incredibly raw. I wish you well and I know the others do too. Glad you are having counselling- I hope it helps in some small way.
Well done for doing so well with your diabetes, not easy at the best of times.
All the very best to you merrymunky. X

Good morning everyone. 4.3 today 🙂 Back is in a lot of pain - I usually have pain when I walk but I think that it is now causing me bother more of the time because I'm so immobile. Foot was in more pain than usual last night so I still need to keep resting it. I've been told that I must wear the orthopaedic boot until at least September 6th when I have my fracture clinic appointment and then they will review what to do. Still in my prison cell today.

Morning all, 4.3 here. Last night’s dinner caught me out, I went on rising after I'd gone to bed, found myself awake in the middle of the night with a nice steady line in the 10's, did 2 units correction at 5am, and shot down to 3.7 in two hours, just when I'd normally be expecting the dawn rise to kick in. Had a corrective JB or two. Why is Novorapid so rapid in the night and so slow in the day?.
Morning all from a sunny Brighton today. 7.4 for me today, again disappointed with that. Looking forward to a day out with my daughter and grandchildren, we are going to Fishers Farm for a fun-filled, action packed.. just stopped there as my daughter has rung, granddaughter been unwell in the night. I have pre-paid the tickets and T&Cs say no refunds under any circumstances aargh. Going to give it an hour and see how she is then such a shame, was really looking forward to it.
Hope your day is starting better than mine x

6.3 for me this morning, changed my bedding yesterday and had to get one of the old pillow cases in the wash right away as one of the clean ones was dirty! 😱 the cupboard the bedding is kept in has old pipes as our old boiler was in there and it must've been leaning on one of the pipes as was black at one end 😱🙄 rest of it in the washing machine just now and hopefully get it hung out shortly as the suns coming out 🙂

Crikey! I think that's the lowest waking number I've seen for you @Stitch147! 😱🙂 Looks like you were even lower earlier in the evening. Hope the weather there is drier than it is here! 🙂
