So, having a weird one today. Went to bed an I was 4.8, woke up and I'm 6.8, just checked myself now and I'm 7.0, which is really high for me.
Wondering if my insulin has gone out of date or something (waiting for ASDA pharmacy to get some in). Does that happen? This batch was in the fridge as I got two lots from the pharmacy at the hospital when I was first diagnosed and its just about run out now.
Morning @Ljc 5.0 for this early riser. 🙂
I'd like to say that it's all the excitement of Christmas coming closer. 🙄
But I can't - it's just another little bout of my occasional insomnia.
Good morning folks.
Went to bed on 6.9 woke Around 04 15 to 7.2 both were scans looks, like I had a visit from Dawn as this is what happened in between lol
My pancreas seems to have woken up and is bringing me down slow but sure 🙂
Morning my fellow insomniacs. Been awake since 1.55am and been up since 3.40am. BG at 4.45am, 6.8. Tried to have a kip on the sofa but the smell of the Christmas tree was making my nose run, I really am allergic to Christmas. Glittery cards and wrapping paper bring me out in a rash and although I love a real tree they don’t love me! Pleased to report an improvement in the back area after I pushed myself to the limits yesterday, ironed five bridesmaid and two flower girl dresses. Then went into town with stressed out soon to be married daughter. OMG! Pain was off the scale but last night and this morning I actually feel normalish! Fingers crossed it’s not a fluke! Today I will mostly be having nana naps! Have a great day all. 🙂
Morning all. 6.5 for me today. Bucketing with rain outside, hope it doesn’t come through the roof as we have a couple of tiles missing, will send hubby in the loft to check. Got a beautiful hamper from work yesterday full of carbs, even organic carbs are not going to pass muster aargh! Dropped it off at our local hospice on the way home so someone will enjoy it. Have a good day everyone.
Have a rest today @eggyg glad you are feeling a little better xx
That’s nothing @Ljc. We were out the other day having lunch and hubby reached for his (old-fashioned) mobile in his top pocket...it was the tv remote, hahaha.😛
Morning folks.🙂 8.6 here after a pesky bedtime hypo...I’m so insulin sensitive at the mo!🙄
I’m sure I read your yesterday’s post yesterday @khskel.

Morning all, 4.1 here on the new sensor, I think it’s a sensor squish problem, rather than the manifestation of a completely new pattern. I normally go up from 3am, not down!(unless you know different, Diabetes Fairy!)
Jeez it a chilly one today, due to get the bus to the other town at 13:50 for a 14:30 appointment so I'll certainly be wrapping up warm, may need to stretch to a pair of legging under my joggers! 😱
Good Morning all, 5.6 mmol this morning, may just have naughty toast this morning 😛
Overcast and damp here in the south, if it was any colder I'd say the sky looks like it could produce snow.
Made into the 5s this morning with a 5.9, but somehow I only have 2 days left of my canagliflozin, but 10 days left of all my other meds, no idea how that has worked out, oh well lets hope my electronic prsecription works quickly, otherwise I will be seeing for a couple of days what my bloods are like using only Metformin.
