A better reading for you this morning @Kaylz :D

But, that cat scratch looks painful! OUCH!😱

Get some tea tree on for infection & aloe vera or propolis for healing!🙂

Never mind that it took 2 digestives at bedtime to get it 🙄

I can't say whether its a scratch or not, might have been the cat box even but it'll be fine, with my OCD I'm permanently washing my hands so I don't think there's much chance of infection, was dripping everywhere when it happened so its in the cat box, probably in Bubbles's fur and he even had to eat a few treats with blood on, they were the only way to keep him entertained and away from going down the back of the telly until Bruce got here to give me a hand as if he'd gotten down there it was absolutely no chance of getting him to the vet for 10:30! xx
 
Morning folks, a 6.6 today. Got a phone call from my SIL at 2.40 this morning to say my grandson (9) was in hospital due to having knocked himself out again, 2nd time in 3 weeks but for longer this time, he fell through a door into concrete. Haven’t heard from my daughter this morning who spent the night with him at the hospital as he had a brain scan and in for observation so don’t know anymore than that. @eggyg these grandchildren are a worry no matter how much we love them. Congratulations though on being a nana again.
@Lanny i love sudoku, especially the jigsaw ones and the 16 square ones.
@Kaylz keep that cut covered for a while if you can and tell Bubbles to behave or I’ll send misty up and they can be a pain the butt together.
Have a good Sunday, hopefully mine will improve as am rather worried, when I am my tremor gets worse so shaking here like a good un!! 🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 10.3 here - so, I change the timing of my evening meal bolus to avoid crashing an hour later and NOW I’m high overnight and in the morning (after 2 wee small hours correction doses), fffleurrgh. @khskel I seem to remember you saying your evening bolus is problematic. What do you do, timing-wise? Do you split the dose? My digestion seems to be a bit more laid back in the evening!

Oh, wot lovely news @eggyg. :D

my hands are in water that often even waterproof isnt sticking especially as its right on the bend of my knuckle as well, he was pretty much KO'd for the day when he got back from the vet so was bliss, ate his tea fine even though it had the capsules powder mixed in so that should be fine, just the metacam thats likely to be an issue seen as it nees squirted down his throat via syringe 🙄 I know Misty has her issues but dogs are by far easier than this cat especially so want to trade for a few weeks? lol xx
 
Haha I would love to have a cat again and the only reason I haven’t got one is because my DIL has such bad asthma. Don’t think Bubbles would want me to keep cuddling him I would end up with a patchwork of broken skin i think. What are we like hey putting up with our weirdo animals lol x

Think how having diabetes saves us bothering with Sudoku books and other puzzles.
We have our very own daily mental exercise!!,

Should be enough shouldn’t it, thankfully I don’t have to cope with all the mathematics of insulin. I find sudoku quite relaxing strangely x

Dare I suggest a pump. It is theses issues that drove me bonkers and a pump definitely sorts that out with the hourly basal rate, rather than one hit with an injection.

I hope you get it sorted.
 
@SueEK no he tolerates a few minutes and then goes for you even though its him that's chosen to come to you, if he's around when me and Bruce move in together (which will hopefully be sometime within the next year) then we'll have to find a new home for him as we want to try again for kids but I wouldn't trust Bubbles anywhere near a child unfortunately xx
 
A 4.8 and scales reading lowest in living memory 🙂.
It maybe just me but I find a 'Normal' level of 4-7 very wide. Is there such a thing as ideal or are we such a varied bunch there is not such thing. In a world that has been so driven by the low-fat hype train I can't help but wonder if the 'Normal' range is just the statistics of people getting away with it - as many of us did for a while. 😉

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. 🙂

Congratulations @eggyg
 
Well after a day of good levels yesterday and a bedtime reading of 6.4, it shot up and stayed up overnight again (always from 1am and always to around 15) before my breakfast reading of 9.3. Any ideas of why would be appreciated as seriously fed up now.
@Kaylz that finger looks very sore.
@SueEK, i hope your grandson is ok.

Have a good day folks. X

I’ve been wondering the same, so assume the mid-point of 5.5 is ideal? I’m interested to hear opinions.
 
@freesia it is as it keeps opening with being right on the knuckle, it didnt hurt at the time, didnt even know it had happened until I felt something wet running down my finger lol

What time is your last bolus? Amd what are you having to eat? Are you snacking on anything low carb afterwards? Xx

Looks and sounds painful!
I tend to eat tea between 6pm and 7pm and my bolus for that is 1:10. Last night after a couple of hours the Libre showed a 3.6 but the finger prick was 4.2. Had a snack of peanuts and 2 tiny cornichons with a glass of wine which worked out at about 8u so as it was less than 10g and with alcohol i didn't bolus for it. 6.4 at bedtime when i had the basal.
It doesn't seem to matter whether i have a snack or not, whether i bolus for a snack or not, its so unpredictable overnight and i've had a couple of overnight hypos over the last 2 weeks which Libre shows have lasted a couple of hours. Its always around the same time it goes up. I have wondered if its hormonal (i am of a certain age now).x
