Group 7-day waking average?

Never played it, why do you ask?
I have never seen duvet covers with zips but I can imagine they would be expensive. At least by zipping them up in the washing machine would stop everything else ending up inside it.
Sorry you had a bad day yesterday.

Have you tried just buttoning them back up before washing? Nothing gets stuck in then

Try Skyr yoghurt. Fat free, only 4g carbs per 100g. Very creamy and nice

Set my pedant loose with this one!

Skyr isn't a yoghurt but is rather a fermented cheese. Which sounds disgusting and is why it's marketed here as a sort of yoghurt.

I didn't know that. Tastes good for fermented cheese

8.3 for me today which is a move in the right direction but my 2 units of Levemir last night don't seem to have done as much as I would have expected.

@merrymunky How about some Nature Valley Protein bars? One bar is just under 10g carbs and they are quite satisfying and a great "grab and go" breakfast for a busy Mum like yourself. I think they are OK for vegetarians.

@Leaderofthecats
Exercise will lower your BG levels up to 48 hours afterwards and if you did an intensive workout on the BS, which it sounds like you did, that may well be contributing to the lowering of your levels. Good sleep is also very important in reducing your levels, so whilst I am not saying that rehydrating hasn't done some good, the exercise will probably have been a bigger factor than you imagine. And getting some sleep now will help too although you will be unlikely to get undisturbed sleep with all that fluid i your body. Do go steady on the fluids because as Google has informed you, there is an optimum level and more can be as bad as less.

@eggyg
Many congrats on your gingernut derived House Special. I agree that you should feel guilty even mentioning it when some of us are struggling just to get into range and it's even more insulting that you indulged in a biscuit to achieve it. 😉Have you no shame!!

@Gwynn
Pleased to hear your wife is getting over her disappointment. Hope today is better for both of you. Get some fluids and calories into you and stop worrying about macro nutrient levels or even BG levels at least for a few days.... Take some time out for your own mental health and just treat yourself to whatever you fancy today..... in fact listen to your body because at the moment it is telling you it needs more calories.... you can't keep losing weight. It will not cause irreparable damage, I can assure you, to eat more carbs, protein and fat for a few days..... in essence, just more food!! If you didn't have a BG meter and all the apps to record your food you would have no idea what you were eating.

Have a chill day and that is an order from Dr Barbara here! 😉

Nope! No shame at all! 😛
 
I got vegan oykos yoghurt from morrisons last week and it has shaved chocolate in - one of the nicest yoghurts I've had, soooooo creamy and low carb.

Also my bloods still bein naughty. Spot on control yesterday then today sky high despite a walk and low carbs. Definitely hormonal though and I wanna eat my body weight. The horror

looking at the nutrition, many wouldn't define it as low carb by their standards lol xx
 
I overdid the water drinking.
I didn't realise it would be so ridiculously easy to over do that.

BS was down to 7.2 mmol/L before sleeping but I ate Cup-a-Soup and two Oatcakes with cheese before bed and waking BS was 8.6, 9.0

It's gone up to 10.0 now even though I haven't eaten for hours, so I'm having an Oatcake with Marmite, houmus and peanut butter on for extra sodium, a small banana for potassium, and a Purition shake.

I'm not feeling much worse than usual really though, and my rather astonished digestive system seems to be settling down now. Just taking it easy today.
 
I added a boiled egg with salt on and a slice of cheese, for an extra protein and sodium boost - and since I missed breakfast and feel like eating everything incredibly slowly so haven't got round to drinking my Purition shake yet.

I'm feeling as bit better as time goes on.

23:09 BS 8.2 🙂 Pretty happy with that as going to bed on BS 16.5 at 15:31 after the stress & 2 cups of tea with milk & honey with late basal took a leap of faith: I delayed my basal by 3 hours until after the vaccine as I didn’t want ANY hypo risks AT ALL; knew a lot of that over 16 reading was stress which had gone & I didn’t bolus at all to correct, giving it the full basal back up to +4, the 4 I took off 12 hours earlier, & conked out more or less straight away for basal to slowly do its thing! If there’s one thing that’s been hammered into me, & I DO hope it sticks, is that my state of neuropathy being ever lurking around the corner rapid changes of BS is BAD & especially so if it’s going down fast, not necessarily hypo territory: a paradigm shift as I’ve been battling for most of this CV year to keep BS down & get high readings down as soon as possible; have to readjust & go the slow & steady route now as rapidly dropping BS & neuropathy is a VERY painful combo!😱

Just finished eating breakfast & fancied something hot, as it’s blowing a gale out there now with lashing rain, & had a prawn curry with broccoli rice, YUM! 😛:D No signs of vaccine side effects yet but, maybe gone unnoticed in the general hubbub of my tingles especially since I asked for it on my right arm instead of the usual left so, there’s one side, my left, that I can sleep comfortably on: the right side is where the tingles are & I woke up yesterday in SUCH discomfort because I’d been sleeping on that side; slept on my left & I wake up much less uncomfortably!🙄 Can’t avoid the occasional turn back to the right, though but, soon turned back to the left in my sleep as I was aware of it without waking up!🙄

I haven’t been into town at all for a year now & going through it to get to the other side of the town to the Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre, where my Health Centre is doing the vaccines, I saw how sadly dilapidated it looked as a lot of small businesses had closed down & what this year has cost to some people! That journey there & back through the town really brought that home to me at the sight of all those businesses that didn’t survive the pandemic! :( It’s still going to be a long slow recovery for everyone even after the vaccinations!:(
 
11.1 this morning. Booooooo
 
5.5 for me. It looks grey and wet outside.
 
Tuesday was a day from hell as my wife was so upset. That upset me very much and I basically stopped eating. Obviously my weight dropped. Yesterday things were so much better for my wife. I felt better too and took the advice from members here to treat myself food wise. I ate a huge amount (for me) and my weight this morning has increased which is what I have been looking for. I just need to find the right balance point for weight maintenance.

Along with all of this food craziness and stress I expected my BG to be all over the place. But it wasn't. The last 2 days readings were 5.3, 5.5, 5.1, 5.6

And this mornings reading 5.2

Today I have a telephone appointment with the consultant who misdiagnosed me as a type 1, gave me insulin to inject, and no information.

Still, that is better than the GP who completely missed obvious symptoms of a brain tumour for years. It was an optician who sussed it in the end and a brilliant consultant who operated and saved my life.

But why are so many doctors and consultants very poor at analysis and just go for the obvious. Why do some seem incapable of really listening to their patients? Is it because they hear so many unhappy, upset, in pain people every day that they sometimes switch off.

My expectations for the telephone appointment this morning are zero, possibly less than zero. (They never cease to disappoint.)

On a more positive note I did have one brilliant doctor for a few years who always probed and analysed beyond the obvious. So great medical professionals do exist.

On a slighly different note from that, I have found the exact opposite with the nurses who I have always found to be compassionate and effective (and very hard working)

Rant (sort of) over.

Nearly time to put the bins out
