Still got the headache and the utterly wiped-out-ness but at least the BG related stress is eased.

I am ok thanks, body clock all to pot z I sleep all day up all night. Really need to get this sorted. But I am good thanks
 
Morning all. Up before dawn, unfortunately not THE Dawn though! 6.7 on the Richter scale for me today. Went to bed really early last night, had a flibberty jibberty day. Firstly had a message from my sister in law to let me know a friend of hers had passed away from Covid 19, in his 60s but fit and healthy. That shook me. Then the huge rise in the numbers of deaths was another shock. Couldn’t concentrate on anything, my book, TV etc so just went to bed. Going to pull myself together today and sort myself out. There’s people much worse off than me. Have a safe day everyone.
 
Morning all. Checking in with a lovely 5.2!! I had a slight hypo last night so glad it stabilised. I’d had pasta for tea and taken a fair amount of insulin for it, was absolutely fine after tea at 6.0 but it went down to 3.4 about three hours later.
 
Good morning. Had a really horrendous and physically painful night. I'll try and keep it as short as possible but I want you to know as much detail as I give. Last night before dinner at 6 pm my sugars measured 10.i. I ate a small amount of roast pancetta with mashed potatoes, cabbage, carrots and gravy. I injected 6 units of NR. Once having eaten I thought that, to be on the safe side, I had a small sweet cake with honey. I have a box of Belgian pralines on my desk which was to be a present for a friend in the village but now under the lockdown rules it cannot be delivered so I opened it and had just 2 small chocolates. Went to bed at 7.20 but could not sleep. Usually I am fast asleep in 20 minutes but I was still awake at 10.30. Obviously I went to sleep at some time but I woke up on the terazzo floor icy cold. I tried to stand up to get back into bed but fell over. I tried several times but with the same result damaging my right wrist. For some reason I crawled on all fours out onto the landing and towards the stairs which I promptly fell half-way down. Still on all fours I got downstairs, tried to stand up again and managed it but then fell over again striking my head on the wall and floor. I knew who I was precisely and roughly where I was. Many attempts to stand failed. I knew that I had to get to bed so crawling up the stairs on all fours was the only way. Crawled to my bedside table and had two digestive biscuits and one 'jelly baby equivalent. Within a minute I was compost mentis again - obviously my bodily defences had already kicked in so that, in retrospect, acted with the carbs I had eaten to bring me fully round. JB's are quick - but not that quick. It was 3.09 am. A few minutes more rest and then I had to stand and completely re-make the bed and climb in. Still could not sleep because I was so cold and had some pain. Eventually I fell asleep and with a dog either side of me got warm. Got up at 7 am. I have a very sore head, both arms and wrists and buttocks. Got downstairs, this time walking properly, my reading was 7.4. I cleaned up the blood from the wall and the floor but I am not going to wash the blood from my matted hair as I want scabs to form to protect from further bleeding. There is no way I am going to hospital under the present cicumstances here.
I apologise for the length of this post.
 
Morning all and it's another high one for me this morning of 8.3 hope everyone is as good as they can be and stay safe
 
Morning

Bruce’s mum is taking him shopping so he can stock up and pick essentials up for us too, wonder how much of the list he’ll successfully get? Only Lidl and Tesco Express to try and find things as I’ve asked my dad if he’s ever my way with work in the hope he could get me stuff at Asda and drop it off to me but he hasn’t even bothered replying ☹

Ordered some more stuff from Superdrug yesterday, hand cream, toothpaste and soap, order from Saturday and The Range order from Sunday still haven’t progressed, both did say expect it to take up to 12 days for them to arrive though

Well its a 5.0 for me this morning anyway, spent all day yesterday in the 7’s basically so upped Tresiba to 15 units last night, give that 3 days and see how things are

@Michael12421 maybe with lockdown etc this is a fine time to work on sorting your ratios and basal, hope you feel better soon
Xx
 
Feeling considerably better today. Slight headache and slight sore throat. Still isolating though as I think it was/is CV19 just thankfully very mild.
BG 6.8 this morning. Which considering I devoured rather a lot of Ben & Jerry’s finest produce yesterday is perfectly fine 🙂

Believe me I have been trying my utmost, aided and abetted by the Carbs and Cals book that Rebrascora kindly sent me.

what sort of insulin to carb ratio are you using? And are you actually weighing your food? xx
 
Morning all, 4.6 here. must have been yesterday’s walk, we chose a footpath we thought would be quiet and it was deserted. For a reason. We had to divert round a huge lake that's appeared across the path, and there was a long section of squelchy mud at the end. To make @eggyg jealous(or maybe her area is stuffed with them already) I saw my first willow warbler of the year.

@Michael12421, hope you’re feeling better and haven’t damaged yourself you badly.
 
I find that, usually. one unit of NR per 3 carb units works reasonably well. Get a bit scared of increasing/decreasing the NR. The last thing I want is a repetition of last night/this morning. I don't actually weigh my food, it's by eye rather than anything else.

I'd highly suggest you do start weighing to try and get the carb value as close to perfect as you can then when you know what that certain weight looks like then you could maybe go by eye, looks can be highly deceiving and breeds of potato for instance can vary widely in the carb value xx
 
Morning all. Up a bit this morning 5.9 - not such a good day yesterday so probably deserved, and will teach me not to be complacent.

Frost this morning - looks very pretty.
My mother used to say on a frosty morning 'That's good it will kill off all the bugs' . How I wish she had been right.

Anyway April Fools Day - May be someone will tell us that it was all a hoax!!!!!!

I am jealous, I’ve never seen a willow warbler.

Thank you Kaylz. If you weigh food is it before or after cooking?

That's a tricky one to answer as it depends, generally I think pasta gives you the information in dry weight but you'd have to check the packet to see what it states so you'd weigh before cooking (I don't do pasta) but the likes of the potatoes I eat give nutrition on a cooked weight, veg I do before cooking xx
