Morning.

Indian takeaway and some cider for me so apparently scanned a 17.2 at 2 am but no memory of correcting. I must have owing to an 8.2 this morning. Was going to split the dose in half but my bg was testing 5.2 hours after eating so ended up leaving it. Obviously not the right decision but we live and learn ey.

Ah well, back to normal eating today. Enjoy your Sunday all.

Well done @Clifton on your House Special. 🙂

Thanks! I had no idea what this was...

 

[Clifton]

A whopping 13.2 for me this morning!
I had a bad hypo last night before dinner. Levemir and exercise took me down to 2.9 and I really felt rough with it. My Libre came adrift earlier in the day so I didn't get the chance to spot it and head it off.
We had a Chinese takeaway, but there was a queue so it was probably after 9pm when we eventually ate. I was only 5.2 and still recovering from the hypo half way through the meal and I made lowish carb choices. Jabbed 2 units bolus Fiasp at that point and another what I thought were risky 2units at bedtime when I was up to 11.0. Woke at 2am half expecting to be hypo again but was 11.5. Resisted the urge to correct as per DAFNE but it wasn't the right decision considering my morning reading. Jabbed myself 3 units Fiasp this morning to bring me down and one less Levemir and headed out at 6.30am to start my day and I was hypo by 7.30am. Arrgh!!
In two minds about applying my last Libre sensor. Maybe I need to go back to listening and being more aware of my body and less reliant on the technology.

@Gwynn So pleased you have had 2 good days on the trot. Fingers crossed that continues.

@Clifton Many congratulations on your first House Special.... 5.2 is the nominated optimum waking fasting reading!

@eggyg Hope your session in the beer garden was well worth the hangover.

Appreciate the explanation! Thank you! I'm not going to be that tomorrow as I've succumbed to a handful of chips with my haddock in a breezy Weston super Mare (meaning a fully fledged gale)! Blue skies though. The kids have glared at me very disapprovingly! Tomorrow lean chicken n salad back in London....

Plenty of walking in that "breeze" might burn those chips off and you might just get away with them. Amazing that your kids have grasped the basics of diabetes management already and are doing their best to keep you on the straight and narrow!

@Clifton congrats on the HS and yes am safely home thanks, it’s only an hour away so very easy to go up and down to it. Your children are amazing, they will keep you on the straight and narrow, though as a QC I wouldn’t expect anything less lol!!
@Anitram another one with an HS, well done - I’ve only ever had one, obviously doing something wrong!!

 

[KARNAK]

7 day average: 8.1
My waking reading is still my highest reading of the day, but it is slowly coming down. Diagnosed early March with HbA1C of 85, and have been eating low carbs/ sugar since. On Metformin for 3 weeks now, since being sent to A&E with blood sugars in 20s and high ketones.

 

[ColinUK]

Obviously skewed as I’m out of that strips but still...

 

[Clifton]

Another lovely sunny morning. We really are being spoilt at the moment, apart from that cold north-easterly wind. Could be worse, I suppose - we could have that without the blue sky and sunshine.

@Clifton - well done on your HS. I'm joining you.

Cibie covers packed away in the garage as soon as I got home. I don't have much good taste, but you're right! Sorry to hear about @Kaylz Sending best along the virtual corridors.

8 years old a piece and more sense than their old man! Back home and packed for my 4 day week up in the Big Smoke. Out of bed at 4am to catch the 0525 eastwards. Early night this end.

Hoping all's well.

18:18 BS 8.7 about middle of the road for me this week so, just about a so, so smile!

I hadn’t realised that it’s been 8 days since I last posted until I got an email from Barbara @rebrascora with a PM message! The days had sort of run together! 😳

I haven’t had a bad bout ofasthma in a while until this week when I could barely move from the bed: JUST about managing to get up & cook for short bouts that would wipe me out during; mum in her last few years was always burning things when cooking as she couldn’t stand for long & would nip off to the living for a rest & watch TV! I didn’t burn anything but, nor could I, in italics, stand for too long either & had to pull a kitchen chair up to the cooker so I could sit while I cooked! My BS has been a bit erratic & my sleep even more so: slept when I could in short bouts as breathing was bad; there’s only so much inhalers I can take & it makes my heart race! But, just beginning to get better & I’ve turned a corner so, now, the last day or so, trying to get my sleep back into SOME kind of pattern: any will do while I stay awake for longer! But, even THIS bad bout didn’t leave me in bed 24/7 living on cold tins of soup like a previous bout: cooking in the kitchen wiped me out; still managed it though & understand better, when it’s too late, HOW mum kept burning things during her last few years!

I’m just up & finished breakfast before I started posting so, pattern is still off but, I AM staying awake for longer now as my breathing is starting to ease a bit! So, the only greeting, I suppose, I can give all you lovely lot is a Very Good Evening & hoped you all had a lovely day! 😉

Read a lot of Agatha Christie Miss Marple while in bed, most of the time, & I do find it comforting especially, Miss Marple as opposed to Poirot! 😛 The ITV productions, Geraldine McEwan & Julia McKenzie, were excellent, in the main, but, the books are SO MUCH BETTER! Some I hadn’t read in 20+ years, as a teen when I borrowed them from the library, & surprised me upon reading them again, on kindle, as some of the TV productions went quite astray from the books!😱 “The 4:50 from Paddington” was a delightful gem in which Miss Marple practically flirted with the detective inspector, the godson of the ex commissioner of Scotland yard she first met in the earlier case of “A Murder Is Announced”!😛😎 Geraldine McEwan is my absolute favourite portrayal of Miss Marple across ANY film or TV production although many said Miss Marple isn’t actually as feisty or as sprightly & devotee’s say that Joan Hickson was the most accurate but, there IS cause for Geraldine’s portrayal in some of the books like the two mentioned above: “The 4:50 from Paddington” & “A Murder Is Announced”!🙄 Sir Henry Clithering’s, ex commissioner of Scotland Yard, comments about Miss Marple are SO hilariously funny & spot on!

Oops! 😳 Better stop now as this post has rather run on a bit: nothing from me in over a week then, a great big long spiel of a post; famine & feast!

Good to see you back posting but sorry you’ve been under the weather. I agree I like Geraldine McEwan the best, she has cheeky monkey look in her eyes x

 

[rebrascora]

Really good to see you back @Lanny but very sorry that you have been battling with asthma. Hopefully you will continue to improve. Sending very best wishes.

 

[freesia]

@Lanny, i hope you carry on improving. Take care.

 

[Lanny]

03:37 BS 6.9 🙂 MUCH better & the first decent figure in a week! But, can’t get back to sleep as I’m hungry so, NR in & cooking breakfast: noodles on the cooker; sitting down to post as it cooks!🙄

An extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Let’s see how long I can stay awake for, or not, & how long it takes me to get a pattern back?
