Morning all, 6.1 here.
Isn’t it nice, @eggyg when a doctor spends time listening. Hope you get some answers eventually, though.

It was Robin, especially when it was so difficult to explain. I was in for 15 minutes! Feeling a bit disoriented today but pottering about to try and take my mind of it. Hopefully ENT appointment won’t be too far away.

Morning all. 5.9 and the sun is shining here too. It’s a miracle! Might get in the garden as the weeds are currently winning.

The GP was very thorough yesterday when I explained about my ear/ head pain problem. He checked them, no infection, looked in the back of my eyes, had me walking up and down the surgery, checked for double vision, made me stand with my eyes closed for 20 seconds, that was disconcerting. BP, which was really high, heart rate, listened to my chest. Asked loads of questions including have I fell and banged my head recently. I did, back at the beginning of the year, whilst trying to manoeuvre around a icy/ muddy puddle I grabbed a tree branch, which snapped and I fell flat on my back in the puddle and ricocheted my head off a lump of ice. I was fine, never lost consciousness or vomited or got a lump. Anyhoo, he’s flummoxed and sending me to ENT for hearing test and scans. I’m just glad he listened to my concerns as I couldn’t even describe some of what I was feeling, but he was lovely even when I was talking about trains and whooshing and ringing in my ears and being deaf but some noises are excruciatingly loud and painful. I know, I think it sounds crazy!

Hope it’s sunny where you all are and you’re able to enjoy it. 🙂😎

Glad you're getting it sorted. I know people who've had similar issues and even though they were never too serious the ears/head can be a bit difficult to diagnose so I'm glad he's referred you. Hopefully now you can figure out what it is and feel a bit less crazy!
 
Well I had a feature of Cape Town on my Libre Graph overnight... Yes I drew Table Mountain. Went from 4 up to 10 and stayed really level there until I woke up the first time, jabbed my Levemir and 5 units of Fiasp and went back to sleep (dodgy I know 😱 but alarm was set and my Fiasp takes 45 mins to have an impact when I am in range let alone being high) and woke up on 5.3, when I got up and ate breakfast pronto. Libre says i just dipped into the red whilst eating breakfast but it reads low so I am not accepting that. Personally I think I timed it perfectly! 😉
Not sure why I went up to 10 as I had 2 extra units of Levemir last night because I only had a short walk with the horses rather than my usual 6 mile yomp/run. I did have several corrections with Fiasp after dinner (just some tomato and basil soup) which didn't seem to work at all for several hours until I went out to do evening stables very late and then they brought me down very fast. I had 2 units of Fiasp before bed with a hot chocolate/shot of rum and a dark choc digestive... 25g carbs. I was 4.3 at the time so it looks like that 2 units got lost somewhere. I am getting to the end of that cartridge of Fiasp though so maybe it is losing effectiveness.
Anyway, the sun is shining here too and it isn't raining so I'm very relieved about that as we had a lot of rain yesterday. Need to get some washing done and hung out.
 
Oh yes, and many congratulations to @Flower on your House Special, That's 2 recently for you isn't it. Great going!
 
16:02 BS 8.2 which was better than yesterday’s 11:38 BS 3.6 that needed 2 JB’s & half an oatcake before I got it up 11:53 BS 4.6 & 12:35 BS 6.6. When back from hospital & about to munch crisps it was 05:40 BS 10.0 & I over did the bolus & forgot there’s an overlap of LR too as it was 19:48, looked at the time on my phone, when that went in at A&E so, I woke hypo about 5.5 hours later! Ah well, a fuzzy, tired mistake! 🙄 Only ate once yesterday after the shopping by which time the extra JB in cimbo had put me up to 14:20 BS 7.2 but, that was an extra cautious JB as my BS was still less than 5 after the first one! Dozed off & only tested later at 19:43 BS 8.1, which is actually a waking reading too so, today’s is pretty much the same & just a bit earlier!🙂

Phoned my health centre’s practice nurse to ask about the 2nd vaccine next Wednesday & she says it’s best to get it done & there’s nothing that would increase my heart rate any more & even if I do have a little cold lingering the vaccine will still work: as long as I’m COVID negative; will toddle off & get it done then, after I return the 24 hour BP monitor! 🙄

Another Australian G’day Mates! 😉 Hopefully can start working on getting a usual morning greeting, soon?:D😉

Off to have scrambled eggs with mushrooms, cheese & mixed herbs washed down with a cuppa tea! 😛

Have a good time with your Mum & selection of birthday cakes @Bloden, it’s my lovely Mums birthday today as well 🙂

Well there’s a coincidence! Hope you enjoyed your mum’s special day!:D

My SIL’s cake went down a treat - it was gluten-free cos she’s coeliac, made with polenta and ground almonds. Great combo, it turns out, for keeping my BG nice n steady.😛
 
Good morning - 9.0

Strange day yesterday. Pablo picked me up and drove me to Baeza for the covid jab number 1, Appointment was for 10.10. There were about 40 people in front of us, we found out who was last in the queue so that we knew our place. We had all been given the same appointment time. Once the time came we were in and out in 4 minutes, told to sit down for 15 minutes, given a sheet of paperwith instructions of what to do if certain symptoms arose and the date and time of the second jab- exactly three weeks hence.
There was no soreness or complicationss and a BS reading was 5.5 but at 4pm whilst peeling, slicing and chopping ingredients for dinner I came over all unnecessary. Felt very tired, didn't know what on earth I was doing and was completely disorientated. Dragged myself upstairs for a nap and woke up just over 4 hours later. Fireworks going off - yes, another fiesta. Cooking dinner out of the question - too late - and my BS was 2.3 so used some of the ingredients to make a sandwich which I had with a glass of wine and went back to bed.
On reflection it was probably nothing to do with the vaccine and everything to do with the diabetes.
 
A slightly disappointing 6.0 this morning.
 
4.2 a night of mad real dreams feel like I've done a days work already just trying to clear my head.
 
I had a good consultation with my cardiologist yesterday and even discussed, briefly, the diabetes. I said I was surprised I’d not had blood tests before the telephone consultations with heart failure nurse and this one. He said he’d get the local phlebotomy clinic to phone. By the end of the day they’d phoned and I have an appointment for Tuesday. Way ahead of my GP.

As well as the usual regular tests for organ functions I asked for the HbA1c which led to his comments that if the levels remain as they are I can be considered non-diabetic. He was impressed with the daily finger prick, thanks to this forum and especially this thread.
