Please can I have some feedback on what anyone thinks about these levels?

Hi. My thoughts would be that your breakfast ratio is off since you are having to make corrections at lunchtime every day. It may be that it is Foot on the Floor syndrome kicking in rather than an incorrect breakfast ratio as such but either way you would be looking to inject more QA insulin on a morning to cover it. I would adjust that and then see how your afternoon readings go.

If it helps at all, I inject 1.5-2 units of QA as soon as I get up to cover FOTF syndrome, plus whatever I am going to need for breakfast, rather than changing my breakfast ratio as such because if I have no breakfast, I still usually need those 1.5-2 units to cover FOTF. The only time I don't do that is if I am going to be physically active straight after I get up.... I have horses, so if I am going to walk up to the yard and feed and muck out before breakfast then I don't inject for FOTF as I will work off most of that glucose doing my stable chores. If I was going for a walk or run before breakfast then I wouldn't inject for FOTF but most days I have breakfast before I leave the house and I need those extra units of QA to cover the rise in BG due to FOTF.
I am assuming you forgot to log your Tresiba yesterday rather than not taking it??

Delivered the chihuahua poop cakes in exchange for hugs from the folks.
Made a pact with myself that I’d not crack today and tell them. There will be other times for that.
Knew that I’d have to limit time with them to keep it together so walked in and said I’d got 45 minutes before having to leave so I could work this afternoon.

Three and a half hours later I left.

Kept my own counsel and just revelled in the hugs and the sheer joy they both had of mocking how awful the cakes looked.

And now a 5.5

I’m sure you’ll know when the time is right to tell them x

I inject 1.5 or 2 units as soon as I get up as well . Does control that morning spike for me

I am on antibiotics for the infection
I did remember to inject the Toujeo - the correct dosage
I inject in my buttocks
No lumps or scar tissue
I only do an air shot when the pen is used for the first time
I am only half way through the pen
No evidence that it was not absorbed. I leave the needle in and count to 10
The weather is better but it is not hot
Just tested again after scrubbing my hands in hot water and soap and it was 15

When this happened to me, I checked my pen and it had failed nothing was coming out
 
@Anitram
Well, against expectations, England did you a favour, along with a cracking game. Only Wales left standing for the GS.

Bruce popped in to get mine and my mum's today as he was going past that way to see his mum and dad, I was expecting insulin cartridges and he went to his, put it in the fridge, asked him to tip it out the bag and put it in his pocket to bring up (because my OCD doesn't like touching the paper bag cause people have been touching it) and he phones me in a flap cause when he tipped it out he discovered a NovoPen 5! The insulin was being held by the chemist as I'd asked them to, phoned up and the note hadn't been picked up, he's going back next weekend lol xx

Took me quite a while to get my head around it too.

You can't beat a hug and I bet they ate the cakes 🙂

GS would be good but not counting chickens yet. We could still end up second if France finish with bonus point wins against us and Scotland.

Yup, there are a number of possible outcomes. Living in NI now I tell people, especially my wife, that Ireland is my second team ... but I’m telling porkies :D 😉
 
05:10 BS 8.1 It’s better than it has been this last 36 hours or so! Been battling high BS & sleepiness so, possibly fighting off something, AGAIN, put up insulin doses steadily & finally getting it into a whisker of target range! Slept for NI on Friday afternoon until about 22:30 ish then Saturday from about 07:00 to 15:00 & BS was up to 16’s at one point with an upset tummy & no. 3’s going to the little girl’s room! But, hopefully over the worst of it now! 😱

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Sleeping is off again, after ALL that sleep the last 36 hours or so, & still JUST about up to post before I go to sleep! Things are definitely getting better than they were! 🙂 & Sleepy with a stream of z’s emoji!
 
Morning all,
A 5.8 again today.
I have now completed 313 miles on my 'virtual' Land's End to John O Groats run and apparently I am somewhere on the A34 near Whitchurch!

Just 770 miles to go... 😱

Blessings Snowwy
 
My Monday to Sunday waking average is 5.8. This morning 5.5. I’ve not checked the forecast yet.
 
Morning all. A 6.4 for me on this Mother’s Day. Think Mr Eggy thinks it’s April Fools Day though. I woke at 6.30, went to the bathroom and he woke up, I told him it was a lovely sunrise and we laid chatting. My phone pinged at 6.50, daughter number 1, she’s a farmer, wishing me a Happy Mother’s Day, then daughter number two joined in the group message. I read the messages out to him, and he said he’d make my breakfast for me today. I said “now?” He replied it was too early and I told him it was 8.30, so he got up. I thought he knew I was pulling his leg and was going along with it. He got down stairs to see it was only 7am, he genuinely thought he must have dozed off! It was so funny as he is not an early riser! Looking forward to my full English being cooked for me this morning. Have a great day whether you’re a mother or not. I’m doing nowt! 🙂
 
7 on the nose this morning.

thanks to a zopiclone I slept last night.
And thanks to you all for your support this week.
