Hi. 4.1 is sailing very close to the wind, please keep a close eye on your BG, tbh I would have a jelly baby or perhaps two.

We don’t do jelly babies here (both vegetarian). I do have fun size packs of Cadbury’s buttons and Maltesers though as they are my go to tiny treat!
However I had a slice of toast with a thin layer of marmalade today. Not had marmalade since before diagnosis. I will see what that has done to me! I usually have dairylea, peanut butter or marmite on toast these days so marmalade was a nice treat. I felt as happy as Paddington!
 
Sorry I forgot you are vegetarian.
As you are not hypo, chocolate may do the trick but due to 5he fat content it’s not a good hypo treatment as it’s too slow

Let’s hope the marmalade works a charm then!
 
Reporting 5.5 on the Richter scale this fine Autumnal morning.🙂

And now the bad news. We’re expecting not one but three parcels to be delivered by dear old Herpes (each from a different supplier). 😱 Wonder what their success rate will be? 🙄o_O

Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning. No signs of storms up here. Restless night and was up and down so my BGs range from 6.6 at 2.12am to 8.3 going up at 8am! Not watching the rugby, not my thing at all, just siting watching the birds and contemplating getting showered and dressed sometime today! Have a super Saturday y’all.🙂

Good luck! Royal Mail lost a parcel of mine this last week. Two big shoe boxes so not sure how but hey ho! £90 worth. Pavers have sent one pair out again but the others are no longer on stock which is frustrating. They did refund those for me.

Good morning everyone. 6.8 after two corrections during the night following a whopping 15.8 at 2am. I keep increasing my basal but can’t get sugars under control. Weight is either steady or falling. Gastroparesis is being so erratic.
 
Sorry been MIA again, been laid up in bed with a chest infection, anyway now on antibiotics and the dreaded steroids, which I have been warned with mess with my bg levels. Anyway this morning was 9.3, so although much higher than I like, taking everything into account I think it could be a lot worse.

I hope you feel much better soon,
Yes the streroids do mess with our BGs but the infection and antibiotics can too , so you have a triple whammy , however 9.3 imo is very good considering your triple whammy.

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 9.3 for this morning

off to golf club shortly for our winter league
 
I wish my sugars would get under control. I'm on my highest basal ever and have come to the conclusion that the increase has been due to increasing the amitriptylene for my migraines and now the HRT. Anyhow went up to 17 during the night which I ended up over correcting because now down to 3.1 Here's to the next 24 hours being smoother.
