Bubbles has even bigger paws and lengthy talons! And I've fallen victim just a few hours ago to them! xx
I am most definitely walking on air. A good day all round atm. Making low carb chocolate cheesecake for pud tonight as well to round my day off nicely.

Please can I have another drum roll and fanfare??
Libre reading when alarm went off at 7.30am this morning was 5.2 again but with a slanting upwards arrow as it was slightly engineered. I woke several times through the night and scanned because I had a feeling that my evening Levemir was a bit too much for the exercise I did yesterday.... I was torn between 2 units and 2.5 and I went for the latter and then clearly worried all night because I kept waking up to check. Anyway, I woke at 7am with a reading of 4.1, had a Dextrose tablet because it was falling steadily and went back to sleep until the alarm went off and I got that second amazing 5.2.
8 mins after getting out of bed my reading was 6.8 with a vertical upwards arrow which I assume was a combination of the dextrose tablet and DP but seemed a rather excessive reaction. Injected 3 units insulin and waited until it came down into the 4s (35mins) before eating breakfast.... had the exact same breakfast as yesterday, which only took me up into the 7s, but by 10am I was 11.8 and still rising so I had to chuck in another 1.5 units. Interestingly I reduced my daytime Levemir by one unit this morning, down to 15, but find it really hard to believe it could have had that much of an effect that soon in the day.
Pleased to report that I am now a respectable 5.3 but it has taken half the day to get back there!
@Baz... delighted to share my HS fanfare and celebration with you. Congrats!

Morning all. Been awake since 4am and up since 4.50, my BGs didn’t like that. 8.7! Blimey! I was hot, had RLS ( as per) and my mind was working overtime. We got some amazing news yesterday, our youngest daughter, who you may remember got married just before Christmas, is having a baby! Grandchild number 5! We’re thrilled for them and it’s something to look forward to after this crappy year. But of course I’m now worrying about her! Let’s hope I calm down, 6 months without sleep won’t be good! Hope you all have a sunny Sunday. 🙂

05:36 BS 8.8 Duh! Hitting my forehead emoji! Because I went to bed after taking my 90 minutes after dinner reading of 20:41 BS 7.2, another day of all in range readings that were a bit lower all across the board 🙂, & then slept through the night in a deep slumber until now without any midnight Levemir at all!😱
I was MENTALLY exhausted when I wet to bed last night because I’d spent all day doing my very first sudoku number puzzle & it took SO much longer than I ever thought it would! I then tested to see if there is only 1 solution a second time & third time & indeed there IS only 1 solution. After that I slept & dreamed of the numbers 1 to 9 in my dreams all night: heard the midnight alarm but, SO tired still I left it too long to respond & slept on past it. So, my BS in the days of 1 Levemir injection at midday, naturally rose a little overnight & it has done just that without Levemir last night: why I needed a second LR injection to get my waking BS down!🙄
I’m SO proud of my first ever sudoku puzzle that I JUST have to post it here! The numbers in red are the ones I filled in:-
I was playing Golf Clash yesterday morning & once every 24 hours you can watch 10 ads on the home screen for 500 free coins & this was one for a sudoku app: I snapped a picture of it & posted onto the iPad’s Notes app & used the pen function to manually fill in the numbers with my finger; not easy to do as the squares are SO small & why my numbers are messy!
So, given that I have 6 hours to go, a few seconds off 06:00 on the watch, to midday Levemir I think I’ll put in 20 units, half the dose for half the time, & then back up to normal dose of 60 at midday. I’ll have breakfast with usual 28 units of Novorapid. I’ve read members doing this when they forgotten to do a basal injection but, have never done it myself: work out how much time there is left to next dose & work out what fraction of the dose to take for the remaining time; It’ll be interesting to see what effect it has on my after breakfast reading? I suspect it’ll be higher than usual & won’t panic if it is?🙄
A very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
PS:- 1 thing I’ve learnt about sudoku, doing that puzzle 3 times, is that you have to find the CERTAINLY RIGHT numbers using pure logic as guessing any number in any position, even if it’s out of 2 numbers, can waste SO much time, & effort, if it turns out further along, sometimes MUCH further along, to be wrong! It takes SO long to go through all the lines to find those certainties but, they’re CORRECT: speeds up towards the end as the possibilities get eliminated; why it took SO long the first time as I tried guessing one of two possibilities for certain lines!🙄

Morning
Well yesterday was a c**p one, Bubbles was playing up and started showing signs of yet another bloody urine infection, get to the vets for 10:30 so Bruce had to run up here while I’m fighting a losing battle trying to get him in the cat box, 1 injury is all, Bruce on sick pay and me not due anything until next Friday he certainly picks his times!
Anyways its a 5.3 for me today and hoping for a calmer one
Have a nice day my lovelies
