Hopefully next year, Jan. I feel very fortunate that OH (retired priest) had kept a bag of spare palm crosses, so I had a freshly blessed one at our private Eucharist in the garden room this morning.
Good afternoon, cold and windy here today, was looking forward to a good walk, but have not even managed that.My reading 6.2 this morning. Maybe things are improving!
Seems I owe someone an apology the forum and @Leaderofthecats to which I
profusely apologise, I totally misread her post on the Endocrinologist like the numpty
I am and so sorry if I caused her to be upset.
I am not here to upset any member and I hope you all realise that, my aim is to join in
and take in knowledge from members and a bit of banter if required which is nearly
always.
I have a decision to make tonight, to leave the forum or not? I have spoken to a staff
member who I deeply respect and a decision will be made in the morning. I don`t want
members to say what they think its my decision, please take care and stay safe.
8.9 this morning just to show its in the correct thread, sorry @Northerner.
06:20 BS 9.5 A bit high, more practice needed in paradigm shift, but, oddly enough quite a lot more comfortable sleep: still tingles; just no waking up with my whole arm on fire! That’s because I’d reduced the basal by -2 hours before I slept, true, that still made a difference & reduced my bolus -12: not intentional in that it was planned; just what was left in the pen & decided to try it & see AKA couldn’t be bothered to go to the kitchen fridge & back to get a new pen! 😳🙄 I thought for sure it’ll be above 10 & it’s just under! But, it does tell me I need even less bolus, especially for dinner, than I thought & I also need to either eat dinner earlier or stay up longer after dinner to monitor BS to bring it down more slowly before going to bed: not good to have my BS sitting around the 10 mark overnight even if it FEELS more comfortable!😱
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
PS:- that trek to & back from the fridge has to be undertaken now but, then, I’m headed to the kitchen anyway to cook breakfast! 🙄😉
@Michael12421 so sorry to hear this, have you hurt yourself? No wonder you are shook up. Hope you are ok xx
6.4 for me today, am really feeling the loss of that extra hour. Got a busy day ahead at work. Take care everyone xx
Morning all,
A 5.6 this morning. @Michael12421 sorry to hear that, hope everything can be put right.
There has been a tinge of sadness on the forum of late for many reasons. My prayer is that all will find peace in this fickle, troubled world as we approach this Easter period and beyond.
Morning all. A surprising 9.3 for me this morning. Busy day at work as usual today but only 4 days this week. @Michael12421 i hope you are ok!!
Have a good day everyone.
Morning all. A very pleasant 5.4 on day 2 post second vaccine. I was fine yesterday and appear to be fine today. Can’t even feel anything on the jab site. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
Today is the first easing of lockdown restrictions in England, ie two households can meet up in a private garden and you can jump in your car to travel for exercise. Not too far though. We had it all planned. A 40 minute drive to the seaside for a nice bracing walk, followed by fish and chips. There’s bracing and there’s BRACING! 40/45 mph winds and heavy rain forecast for our region. Typical! Tomorrow is looking much better so we’ll go for it then! 🙂
@Michael12421 I liked your post but only because of your reading, not because you crashed your car. Hope you’re feeling a bit better today and your car isn’t too badly damaged. Take care.
Have a Happy Monday everyone and if you are venturing out to see friends and family or to go somewhere different for a walk. Enjoy, but still stay safe. 🙂
Morning all, 4.8 here. It feels far too early.
I'm sorry you’ve had a crash, @Michael12421 and hope you feel better soon and can get the car sorted. Is it a write off? Like @eggyg , I was in two minds as to whether to 'like' your post!
5.5 at 4am this morning but up most of the night because my wife is not so good, is having deeper paranoid thoughts and is sinking into diabetes. It won't be long before she begins to think I am trying to poison her at this rate ( I or anyone else, hence why we have no friends left now). Been there before. Sadly last time she ended up being sectioned.
She has progressed as far as thinking that I am forcing her to take her medicine (which she thinks is a poison) that she hates, and tinkering with her food. Neither of which is true. But the truth is irrelevant to her, only the suspicions reign in her mind.
If only she could let go of the 'bad' thinking.
So sad because when she is well she is really lovely.
Sad because we had another terrible evening and night.
I dread to think what today will bring.
I wish she would take her diabetes seriously but she won't. She just ignores it.
