Thanks my lovely, had a right rollercoaster of a day today so could have been by far better, hopefully this weekend goes far more smoothly than last and Bruce makes it through without any incidents, I can't help but worry about him even more now though I'm like a crazy paranoid person about it all xx
I can't imagine how scary last weekend must have been. Hoping that it doesn't happen again for a long while and that times get easier for you. It is hardly surprising you feel this way though. x
Good morning. Woke at 6.39 feeling a little unwell so had a sweet and got up.Took my bloods and 2.3. Had loads of minestrone for dnner lasr night.
Have a nice weekend.
Well good morning all , it the weekend again and I think it's going to be a bad one weather wise , but here is me reads and they don't look that bad so for this morning it was 6.9 and the weekly average was 6.4 hope you all have a good weekend and the weather where you are is not that bad for you all
What a day yesterday, woke up to the 6.6, somehow (no idea how) ended up at 11 by dinner time, corrected that and was sitting at 7.2 by tea, was 7.5 at tea time the previous day and only did the 2.5 units and ended up at 9 by bedtime so thinking that my ratio must be back to 1:10g as twice it's happened I went for the full 3 last night, 2 hours later and I'm down at 4.4! It got to the point I broke down and cried to Bruce asking why diabetes couldn't be easier to manage
Anyways it's a 6.4 for me today and hopefully an easier day as I'm exhausted, no plans apart from watching the rugby although my dads supposed to be coming through tomorrow seen as I cancelled after Bruce's seizure last sunday so hopefully the weather wont affect that
Morning all 🙂 a yuck 14.8 after a bad hypo in the night. I’ve been on a glucose rollercoaster for the last week and need to get some stability back asap.
Down a bit to 6.6 - but as, long ago, my school report used to say 'could do better'
It is so frustrating that once an over-indulgence has shot the morning reading up it takes quite a few good days to come down again.
7.2 today. DN review yesterday, all of 3-4 minutes, blood pressure taken, a well done on blood results and off you go, see you in May!
Keep safe this weekend, they reckon 80mph+ winds here on the coast tomorrow so batten down the hatches.
Looks like a few of you have got seesawing readings, hope you are all okay x
Good morning everyone. A lovely 5.2. Waiting for my second lot of painkillers to kick in then off to get bloods done at the hospital. Also going to Hobbycraft and after that will make some bread 🙂
Morning all. A pleasant enough 6.3 after a 1 unit correction last night, something which I very rarely do but was a whopping 9.3 at 11.30 last night. Nothing at all to do with the Elizabeth Shaw chocolate and mint cream bar! 😱 Off out again tonight, feast or a famine, and infact we had two invites. That’ll be us in until October now! I promise not have too much evil grape juice this week. 😉 Have a good day and watch out for Caira, she’s due up here very, very soon and isn’t going anywhere until Wednesday apparently. 🙂
6.3 this morning, sorry went straight out to Tesco, so late reporting this, hopefully will start seeing it back in the 5s soon, pleased to report stomach seems better on the SR, getting over this bug a bit, however still feeling a bit weak and tired, but going to try and do some parts of my mums birthday cake, the bottom tier is goi g to be a dummy cake as she didn't want to much cake, but I had already decided on how I wanted it to look.

Didn't get to enjoy a later reading as woke up at 5:30! Which is ironic - because my reading was 5.3 (I left it until after 7 AM). Still weekend and finally a day off - so a nice, big, still on my low carb plan breakfast! Yum!
I'm like a crazy paranoid person about it all xx
