26/03/21 23:30 BS 8.1 Just about ok with that as I got up for a call of nature an hour earlier & couldn’t get back to sleep so, about an hour of DP! 🙂
Well, I know the theory about the vaccine lowering my BS seems to be right as I only have a slight lump under the skin that I can feel a bit of tenderness when I press it firmly! I’ve just finished breakfast with the same bolus & basal, no changes until I know for sure, & 04:42 BS 11.3 so, added back in the +4 basal, just a wee bit later than the earlier midnight dose, that I took off & also, +4 bolus, taken off too, to get things back on target 06:30 BS 9.2 which is more or less where I want to be with the rest of the active NR to go! 🙂
From that I know what my doses of insulin will be today: plus/minus 2 or 4 units bolus depending on what I actually eat or drink? 🙄
Normal service is more or less resuming today! 🙂
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
Sorry if I stirred up a hornets nest yesterday. It was a bad, difficult day and my wife was not good. She hinted at 'seeing things' which frighted me a lot. The 'things' being people coming into the house to harm her. That is the first time she has expressed that (even though she didn't mean to and immediately covered up what she had said). I felt such despair. She has no idea that she is ill. None!
5.3, at least that is a great start to the day.
Thinking more about what the doctor and I discussed the other morning, everything seems to point towards a temporary inflamed pancreas. If that is the case (and we don't know that for sure yet) then I am not actually diabetic at all (possibly). And if that is the case is it wrong of me to be here on this forum? I like this forum though as the people here keep me motivated and pointing in the right direction and there are some real characters and 'real' people and I have no one. Sigh. But as I often say, if I am feeling down, 'the only way is up'.
Ah well, I missed the 5.2 again. (Note to self: Must try harder.)
Weight is still going down. I will increase my calories again today. I can't keep doing that or else the carbohydrates will increase too much, or the cholesterol. Its an interesting, difficult puzzle. How do people put on weight?
Phew, it’s good see you here this morning. Aren’t our bodies (and minds) infinitely complicated? Does anyone know what can cause a temporary inflamed pancreas?
A general comment going back a couple of days that’s been going around my head. I’ve been a Peanuts fan for as long as I can remember and only wish I could blow that rain cloud away.
Morning all. Back to an Eggy style 5.9 after yesterday’s temporary blip. Who knows? Anyhoo, second jab this afternoon. Going to have a walk first, as there’s a rather pleasant nature reserve just around the corner from the GP surgery, then onto have my AZ vaccination at 3.30. Got the paracetamol in as last time I had a horrendous headache the next day. A bit like a hangover headache, I just fed it with painkillers every four hours and done nowt! Just like every Sunday of my misspent youth! Have a super Saturday whatever you’re up to. 🙂
@Gwynn whether diabetic or not, there’s nothing to stop you coming on here for the craic and an occasional rant. We’re not inclusive. Hope today’s a better day for you both. 🙂
Well, a very exciting day for me - I’m going to see my mum, yay! I wonder how much traffic there’ll be on the roads? We’re expecting everywhere to be rammed over the next few weeks with the lifting of Welsh restrictions. It’ll be nice to see people relaxing and enjoying themselves on their hols...from a distance, of course.😛
Morning all. 6.8 today which I’m very surprised about as I was BAD yesterday and had a pizza, first one since diagnosis over 2 years ago. It was ‘ok’ but won’t bother again. Didn’t eat the crusts but am annoyed I had it at all now, craving got the better of me.
Took Misty to the vet, she has an ulceration on her eye which should be fixed with some drops. The vet actually came to see her on the pavement and started examining her, I said no I want to come inside as I have other things I want you to check and get her weighed. Anyhow all lesions/lumps were normal for her age and I paid £98 for the privilege.
Arm is much better today so seems like the second jab symptoms were very short lived @eggyg . @Bloden hope you have a lovely day with your mum. @Gwynn you need this forum and we are very happy for you to be here, sorry you had another rubbish day yesterday. Just wondering if your wife is taking all her medication with her possible hallucinations, do you give it to her? Hope today is better for you both xx
Well looks like the thread kicked off yesterday evening and yet more divide between Type 1 and Type 2, as has been mentioned before regardless of Type we are all here to support each other, not cause aggravation by things like "Type 1's have this, that or the next thing etc", diabetes is difficult regardless of Type and many don't receive the care and support they should, even Type 1's so lets just continue to support each other the best we can
Thank you Scotland for seeing off the French so that Wales finish as Six Nations Champions. First win in Paris for 20 years, so something for the Scots to celebrate too. Great tournament this year but shame it was in empty stadiums.
I'm gutted as I only got to see the first half, was through the house the second, mum got rather excited in the last few minutes though screaming and shouting lol, I'll have to see if I can find the winning try on the net as want to see it! xx
4.1 here.
