Hi @mum2westiesGill 🙂 when you tested at 5.2 before bed on the 16th did you have anything to eat before actually climbing in to bed? Without taking any insulin for it? xx

Hi Kaylz
I didn't have anything to eat before getting in to bed.

Right, do you not have a snack if you are below a certain level when you test before going to bed? Most of us especially on injections will have a biscuit or something if we're below our preferred level to stop either hypoing through the night or waking up hypo like you did the following morning

Hi Kaylz

Yesterday so after the 16th I spoke with my dsn who has advised me that because my target level is 5mmol - 8mmol if I'm lower than 8mmol at bedtime to have around 15g - 20g of carbs with no injection
(feel a bit confused ~ is my dsn right on this?)

Also another thing she's advised is that before meals only correct if I'm over 8mmol
(is my dsn right on this?)
 
@mum2westiesGill

Yeah that's what most of us do in the case of being under a certain level at bedtime

As I don't know your history (well I kind of do from when you were regularly posting but that was a long time ago so can't remember everything) your DSN's advice is the best to follow on when to correct, we all have different sensitivity to insulin so we may correct at different levels etc

Hmmm I was suspecting the data. Perhaps it is the way it is measured or reported uk vs usa?

So if the real value of carb content of kp salted peanuts may be a lot closer to16g per 100g of product. How do I find out what it really is in real money?

Package labelling is a nightmare at times, let alone the sub micro dot text they often use.

Ah well, I was hoping that I had somehow found a magic food. It probably explains the odd results yesterday evening far more sensibly. Thank you.

I will now expect the same or similar results today.

But now I have an impossible conundrum. I need to get my daily calories up to between 1500 and 2000 kcals. But I cannot find any sensible way of doing that whilst keeping carbs low and keeping cholesterol low.

Is the correct way to just go for the higher cholesterol foods like eggs, meat, fish etc.

I think I will pop off and eat a few salted, non carb, non salt, peanuts. At least there is almost no cholesterol....I think

The only tourists we get are stag dos so I cant imagine what it's like for people living in UK tourist parts these days with the covid around. Wales is so purdy though.

I don’t mind the tourists. I’m lucky enough to live in a beautiful area, very near a beach, and I don’t mind sharing. :D When it gets really busy I just stay at home. Some of my neighbours whinge, which is a bit cheeky cos they’re not from here originally, like most of us around here.

I don’t know if it’s deliberate, but it is a nightmare.

I now go to the column that gives carbs per 100g because that is simply the percentage. Quite often there’s a column on the right that gives all the values (carbs, fat, cals etc) as a percentage of the recommended daily intake. This can be really confusing and my wife frequently gives me something saying it’s low carb, until I read the label myself. Bread rolls are a good example - high in carbs, but a single roll might be only 5% of the recommended daily intake (if you don’t have D).
 
Afternoon all. 6.8 @ 8.44 🙂
 
Hi folks a nice 15.7 this morning guess who forgot to take his night time Basal.😎 I`ve had to change
my bolus from 1:7 to 1:5 and a correction dose after this evenings dinner so hoping body thinks its a
split dose and lets me off without any repercussions.🙄 Dentist 09:00 tomorrow probably another visit
to the hospital some time after as usual.:(

Think we only have one HS today which is Dez so congratulations @MeeTooTeeTwo.🙂

@Inamuddle please tell us you are ok you are missed. {{{HUGS}}}

@Spozkins I live in one of the busiest tourist areas on the English Riviera right opposite the beach
and the last time we had an influx of tourist our Covid results went through the roof, we now have only
26 patients in hospital and a few with mild symptoms, watch it go up when they all return. Not knocking
the tourists because they genuinely believe we don`t have it down here, so no face masks and no social
distancing as far as they are concerned, was that a rant or an opinion? both I hope.

Early night for me busy morning, only got 11 cans to get through don`t want to turn up at the Dentist smelling
of booze but better than stinking of cigarettes.😳

Take care stay safe enjoy your kip or whatever takes your fancy😉 and have a great Friday.🙂

When things opened up last year, we had had a holiday booked in Cornwall (booked pre Covid). We went, wore masks, social distanced, sanitised all of the time, avoided the busier areas. We noticed most people doing the same although there were the odd few who didn't. When we spoke to local retailers/businesses, they were all saying they were glad to see tourists/holidaymakers as it supported their business and therefore the county. I can appreciate that a sudden influx of people will cause concern that the virus numbers rise but as long as people follow the guidelines hopefully it will support local businesses and give back a sense of normality to what has been a horrific time.
 
20:37 BS 9.5 a bit better. 🙂 I thought upon waking that I’ll bring down the BS a bit now I know, after a few days of cycle I know what the swings are, about 3 to 4mmol now, so bunged in a MASSIVE 60 units of NR for breakfast & just tested at exactly the 90 minutes after mark 22:15 BS 12.9. I’ll keep testing as I know, from previous experience, it’ll go down after that as it takes a lot of insulin & some time to start to shift higher BS down & once that initial hurdle is overcome it can go down quite dramatically! The next 90 to 150 minutes, to the end of 4 hours of active bolus, will give me a better idea! Hopefully I’ll be roughly a bit higher than target range to allow for the swings at a lower level than I have been? Hoping for a swing of 6 to 10 or a bit higher of 7 to 11 until my cycle is over!🙄

Obviously my sleep is still off & sleeping more than usual as I had another sleep around 3/4pm until half eight, as at the top of the post, BUT, my fingers feel a lot less tender now & less raw so, it was a combo of healing sleep & 2 doses now, yesterday’s & today’s, of vitamin D doing its thing! 🙂

Just caught up on the last episode of Rupauls Drag Race UK on iPlayer & really enjoyed it despite the final winner! I never got him this series from the beginning but, he, or should that be she, is the most comedic & I’ve said before I don’t really go for or get comedy! 🙄 Before seeing Michelle Visage doing Strictly I would NEVER have thought I’d ever watch, & quite enjoy it now, drag: some things still go over my head especially, the first series that took me to pretty much the whole series to get what the judges are seeing; 2nd series I got with the judges faster from about episode 3 but, it still took a bit getting back into the mind set & even then I never got the winner from the start! But, I’ve learnt a bit more tolerance, even enjoyment, to something I never thought I would!😱:D😛😉

A Very Good Morning coming up for you NORMAL lot in the morning from Little Miss Off Kilter me! 😉:Do_O
 
4.3 and up early again not sure why perhaps anxious about blood results so can't relax until I get them back.
 
A slight drift upwards to 6.0 this morning.
 
Good morning 5.6 here.

The strange jump to 7.? The other evening seems to have vanished. It may have been the bread. Glad its back to normal again.
 
GoodMorning 6.1 this morning
