Good morning 5.1 this morning.

Today my wife has a telephone GP appointment. She wants to reduce her meds regarding her paranoid schizophrenia....again!!!!

This same GP agreed last time and the result was my wife becomming very ill and being sectioned. So, I am very nervous of the appointment today.

Her consultant psychiatrist has written to the GP saying that he does not recommend reducing or stopping the meds, but I don't know if the GP has even read the letter. She seemed totally incompetent last time. Very pleasant, but incompetent.

If you are interested I will let you know the outcome of her appointment. Sorry for venting my worries here, at least it doesn't seem to have affected my BG reading this morning.

I have no one I can talk to, not because of the pandemic, but because my wife cannot cope with strangers, friends, the telephone, anyone at the front door, you name it. So sad.
 
Morning all. 6.5 for me, McVitties Ginger Nut failure! Never mind, it is what it is. Managed to speak to my daughter yesterday, at last. She sounded dreadful, still sleep deprived but it’s not baby ( still no name) it’s just the general cacophony of a hospital. I know exactly what she means, not restful places at all. She is desperate to come home but still need more tests on little one, also baby not interested in feeding at all, she doesn’t seem to know what to do, quite common in a prem baby, from mum or a bottle. Luckily managed to express some colostrum and got it into her via a syringe. Let’s hope more positive news today, as I’m feeling rather helpless through all this. Anyhoo, it’s looks like another gorgeous day, like yesterday, so that makes everything seem better. Have good day. 🙂
 
4.8 for me today. 🙂

I will always remember when our twins were born, 22yrs ago, my son was tiny as his sister took all the food in mums tummy so was very small and not feeding. It amazed me how these tiny little people soon change and start feeding, they are fighters. My son is now taller than me, 6ft 5" and often blames his sister for taking too much of mums tummy food.

These little miracles are stronger than we think bless them :D

That’s frightening Gwynn. Sounds a bit like my GP who’s attitude to changing meds is also, “OK, that sounds good, if you want to increase/decrease just go ahead.” Totally reactive rather than proactive.
A couple of years ago my wife worked with a young chap who has epilepsy and was on medication. He’d not had seizures for a while so decided he didn’t need the meds and stopped taking them. He was surprised when the seizures returned.
I’ve no idea whether, during a lucid period, it would be possible to persuade your wife not to reduce or stop her meds.
There are lots of good people on this forum to support you.
 
A couple of random thoughts and observations having been on this forum for 12 months now.

Great forum. But when I spotted this thread with over 3,000 pages it was extremely intimidating. I couldn’t contemplate wading through all those pages in order to understand what was going on. It took me some months to pluck up the courage to go to the last page.

I then went through the phase that most newcomers go through and, again, had to pluck up the courage to ask what “HS” means. I was bewildered by all the backslapping and even now when I see HS I think it’s a High Score on a gaming forum.

That‘s it...

I’ve been here for a little over the year myself.
Think I did the introduction post first and then waded in here probably reading the first page and then the most recent few and started to post.
Personally there was nothing overwhelming about the length of this thread. Conversely it helped normalise that thinking that this was something I’d have to get in the habit of doing daily.
 
And good morning folks. 5.8 this morning.

Feeling washed out after yesterday’s shenanigans but markedly better.
 
Morning all, it’s a 7.1 today

Off on the bus soon to private podiatry in town as no NHS high risk foot clinic as yet. On the way I’ll be looking out for pieces of meteorite that apparently fell on Cheltenham - I don’t actually know what that would look like! Is it a tiny bit of rock or something the size of a double decker bus?

Hope you’re all ok have a good day.
 
@Flower I think if it was the size of a double decker then we’d all know about it!
 
Morning all and 6 .1 for me.

No repeating yesterday I hope . Levels dropped like a stone after getting up and libre sensor threw a wobbler reading double the fingerprick numbers. Interesting game this.

Have a good day everyone.
.
 
Good morning everyone. 6.4 for me with a new sensor. Seems fairly accurate atm. In work for an hour meeting then back to home working for the day and staff meeting later. Very exciting 🙄

@Gwynn please post and let us know how your wife gets on. Hopefully the GP will take notice of the Consultant. It must be difficult but please know that on this forum we support each other when we're struggling with things, diabetes related or not, and celebrate things as well so don't think we're not interested. Good luck, i hope you get it sorted x
 
8.3 for me this morning and levels were slightly above range most of the night which is very disappointing. Having hypoed the night before on 5 units and increased my daytime Levemir by 2 units to 20 to try to reduce the need for corrections I thought 4 units last night was probably still brave/risky, especially as I had been working in the garden yesterday. Clearly I didn't work hard enough!

@ColinUK Pleased you are on steady ground again with your levels and hope whatever it was has passed.

@Gwynn So sorry to hear you have such stressful concerns with your wife's mental health and medication. Really not sure I can offer anything useful other than sympathies. It sounds like a very difficult situation. Please feel free to vent/share whenever you need to.

@eggyg It must be very worrying for you, but you know that, despite the drawbacks, they are in the best place at the moment. Hopefully baby will get the hang of things soon and be able to come home.

@Michael12421 Another good reading this morning. Can we go for a hat trick tomorrow. I hope levels generally are as good as those fasting readings suggest. Also hope you are enjoying the same glorious weather we have here in the UK at the moment. It really feels like Spring here just now!
 
Good morning all

8.8 here today. Will my morning levels ever sort themselves out again?
 
Hi there. :D A circling the drain 3.9 for me (mental image provided by @KookyCat).

@Gwynn I think some medication is too potent for GPs to have a say in. My husband had a similar problem in Spain - our GP had no idea! I hope the call goes well and the GP doesn’t meddle.
 
Morning

Enjoyed a change of tea last night, with my grandad not being here we changed from fish to some ham, radishes and a rather large helping of cheese coleslaw, was delicious! Was 7.1 when I tested for bed so had 5 digestives

This morning I've gotten a 6.0 so correct call to make, only 1 nightmare last night but wish they would stop!
xx

Don't get on the meteorite thinking it's a bus as you will miss your appointment 😉
