Group 7-day waking average?

This made me giggle. People are constantly asking me why I have to take a bag everywhere, it must be because I'm a girl! I actually carry all my supplies around the house too lol.

Anywho, morning all. A 3.7 for me. Slight improvement so fingers crossed for the rest of the day.

Also now feeling inspired to go plant some seedlings today by @Lisa66 . I'd be nuts without our garden hehe.

The “carrying a bag issue” has often been mentioned in various threads. When I go out with one of my friends, she has a couple of tenners popped down her bra and her phone in her back pocket...and off we go. I’d love to do that. Would need to get some sort of utility / cargo bra, but I’m not sure it would be a good look🙄.

When I used to occasionally go full on clubbing I’d have a spare tenner in my shoe.

Somehow I always thought it was a good idea.
 
@ColinUK you've got me questioning why I never did that tenner in the shoe trick! Though did you always remember it was there?

@Lisa66 As it turns out a handbag when clubbing isnt that beneficial when it comes to losing stuff (for me anyway!) Not sure a bra would be any safer haha. My drinking days are done though.
 
A 10.8 and rising this morning. Only down to 8.2 now. Stressful day.

hope everyone has a good rest of the day.

I always have emergency money and phone numbers in my shoe if I head to any place I don’t really know always amuses my husband!

Never really needed it! I do remember having a spare £20 with my address written on it so that I could just give it to a cabbie and get home if I was ever really worse for wear. But I don't remember ever using it!
 
G'day all. 7.2 @ 8.47 for me. 🙂
 
Good afternoon all - woke to a 6.2 this morning, well pleased with that
as it was 7.8 yesterday am decided to shake myself up and went for
a long walk to which I dropped to 4.8 and at bedtime 6.1 so not a bad
waking result 🙂

When traveling alone abroad, I used to stick my purse down my pants. Is that a credit card in your knickers or are you happy to see me? 😳 o_O 🙂

Travelling in dodgy countries I generally lock my current passport in the hotel safe and carry my previous, expired, passport.
 
Crazy meeting, she didn't talk to me after it.

Not good she is very upset.

I am fed up with it all

So sorry to hear this. Don’t know what your meeting was but sad it didn’t go well ((hugs)) x

@goodybags can you be certain it was no control that caused it? Before you were diagnosed with it had you tightened your control at all? I only ask as DMO isn't always due to bad control, I developed mines less than a month after my Type 1 diagnosis due to a plummet in hba1c so don't be too hard on yourself xx

thanks but I’m sure it was to many years of being out of control
I was initially referred to the DMO clinic about 5 yrs ago, they were concerned after I had retinal screening, I even missed the annual appointments for a few years, I was bad...
following that they were concerned,
so that amongst other things over recent times has given me the a stark wake up call, that I needed,
my sugars are under quite a good control now FINALLY!
really it’s unfortunate that I didn’t take the advice & help that might’ve been available maybe 10 years ago,
 
@Gwynn So sorry the meeting didn't go well. Did she see the consultant she likes? Hopefully they didn't agree for her to come off meds as that was your concern I believe, but if she didn't get what she wanted from the meeting then she is likely to be upset and disappointed, so it was going to be a bit of a lose/lose situation for you regardless I guess. Must be incredibly difficult to deal with. Sending (((HUGS)))

I always email a copy of my passport, driving licence, insurance, bank cards etc to myself so that if everything paper is lost then I can access it all over the email.

She wanted to come off meds. Did the consultant disagree with her request?

I’m guessing that she may see it as you and the consultant vs her and that’s going to be tough on both of you.

Do you think that anyone like Mind maybe can help support you in supporting her?

There was a time many moons ago when I travelled with gold coins sewn into the lining of some clothes just in case.

It was just one of the many fun things I had to do sometimes in a previous career.
 
20:08 BS 4.4 😱 Actually woke 10/15 minutes earlier with my whole right arm down to my fingertips burning hot, tingly with sharp twinges& my heart racing in what I knew was a hypo! It took me a while, not sure how long, for my arm to subside a bit & fumble, with the fingers in my right hand feeling like huge swollen claws, to test & was only surprised to find it was STILL above 4. But, it gave me a slight pause to let my arm calm down a bit before downing some coke, waiting for bit & then cook & eat before putting in much less bolus, -6 units, after eating, about 43 minutes ago, to see what’s what later: may be too little but, after heading off a hypo; better to be on the higher, safer side! A hypo & neuropathy combo is VERY painful it turns out! My arm was burning hot & my hand to my fingertips were like red hot needles for a good 10 minutes until my BS stopped dropping with the coke!😱😱😱 & for that 10 minutes or so, I can’t help but, post a rare:( TBH even a crying with tears streaming down emoji!😱

But, all calm now with intermittent little tingles in my right hand which are just starting to ramp up a bit now because of the typing! So, I’ll stop now & hopefully that’ll give it a chance to calm down again? 🙄

I think I’ll start reducing the basal now as I’ve gone too far with too much in trying to get my higher BS back down too fast! 😳🙄
