Eh? I’m not going anywhere. :D I’m spending the bank holiday dismantling our temporary in-the-lounge kitchenette, cleaning the new kitchen and filling the new cupboards.🙂

Morning folks.:D 7.8 here.

I don’t think Dave the kitchen fitter would’ve appreciated me trying to cwtch him @eggyg LOL! He was very nice but we’re just friends. o_O 😛

That’s where you’re going wrong, you should have promised to cwtch him if he DIDN’T get it finished! That would have done the trick! He wouldn’t have wanted a thump from hubby! 😉
Enjoy sorting out your new kitchen. It’s exciting isn’t it? Or am I just a saddo? 🙄
 
Morning all and 6.3 for me.

Bank holiday and no return to work on Tuesday other than a quick trip to hand my laptop in.

Lots of jobs to keep me busy and we do have some studio time booked to hopefully finish our album. We did have the offer of a deal for it but we've decided to go down the DIY route as there isn't much money in record sales these days. A couple if weeks ago the number 10 album sold less than a thousand copies.

Anyway enough of my rambling on have a good day everyone.

Doh I’m a twit, I meant @SB2015 🙄
 
Morning all. 5.7 for me after ANOTHER alert at 3am for a high reading and a correction. Definitely seems to be when my DP kicks in but it doesn't matter what i do, whether my bedtime level is high/low, snack or no snack. Short of setting my high alert higher (i've got it at 12.5) or turning it off at night i don't knoe what to do. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

@SB2015 enjoy your holiday the weather is supposed to be lovely next week.
@Bexlee have a great time with your family.
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS.

A day of hair being cut and cleaning windows beckons. Have a good day everyone.

Just got my latest blood results back though haven’t spoken to DN yet. Think cholesterol results are ok and HbA1c has risen slightly to 49. This comes as no surprise and in fact I’m quite pleased as I have increased my carbs as was simply unable to manage my diet, due to being so finickity, so all in all I’m quite pleased. Will try and reduce a bit more as obviously don’t want it to keep rising, albeit slowly.
 
Late on parade, 6 for me today, but numbers were very high all day yesterday.

Pleased that you are ok with these results, I know mine will have gone up.
 
11.3 for me this morning despite A LOT (for me) of insulin last night. I actually shot myself 2x 4units of Fiasp in the evening and an extra 4.5 units of Levemir before bed and was still high all night (despite a glass or two of red wine on top) and it went up further after I got up, so I got mad and rage bolused 6 units and promptly hypoed but now back up to 10 again! Teach me to say I have got the hang of this diabetes lark last week. Increased my morning basal by 4 units today and I've taken another 2.5 units of Fiasp from a new cartridge over an hour ago and still on 9.7 and an horizontal arrow! Arrgh!
 
Yesterday I had half a bun thing and a bit later 2 slices toast and shot up to 14.5 good grief. Panic. Doing low carb today for sure. 8.8 @ 7.12 🙂 Have a good day all.

@rebrascora it sounds like you and me are both on the same rollercoaster. Hopefully it will stop soon.
 
@freesia
Must confess I am rather frustrated with it today. Really thought I was back on top of it again after 2-3 months of battling and then yesterday afternoon it started rising again and it is just determined to be in double figures today. I feel very tempted to binge just to spite it but got a consultant's appointment coming up at the end of next month so really don't want to deliberately blot my already depleted Libre figures.
Such a lovely day and I just feel yuk, both physically and mentally. Must give myself a good kick up the pants and stop moaning and think of all the amazingly positive things in my life.

You'll get there, we both will. Its just frustrating and draining, but thats the nature of D i suppose. Keep positive, you'll sort it.
 
The 2.5 units eventually dropped me yo 8.5 before I started to rise back up to 10. Another 4 units in an hour ago and it's still barely reducing (8.7) and I would really like to eat something at some point before long! And this is with a basal increase of 4.5 units last night and another 4 extra units this morning! And I have been out and done some work in the garden. Don't want to stray too far from home when I don't feel in control and lots of insulin on board but no sign of it working.
 
17:04 BS 8.3 :confused: So, so smile for a so, so reading! Insulin’s: LR as well which I didn’t need as A&E gave me 2 to take home as they got the wrong end of the stick in thinking that the maximum dose of 60 is all that’s in the pen & gave me 2 brand new pens labelled with my details & gave them to me to take home too; after 4pm & I was quite wired on adrenaline to stay awake by then!o_O So, didn’t go to bed until just after 05:30 this morning when I bunged in morning LR a bit early! Getting up late, my BS is in the 8’s!🙄

It’s JUST about a G’day Mates if I post this before 6pm before it’s a Good Evening greeting! 😱:D😉

Already JUST had breakfast of scrambled eggs with mushrooms, cheese, mixed herbs & a half can, 100g, of baked beans with a cuppa tea! Discovered that no bolus at all yesterday, without the beans, still put me up to 10.6 so, I put in the normal amount of NR & had some beans too! 🙄 I’ll see what THAT does: body, & BS, is still not quite behaving as usual; more testing required still & my fingers needed buffing down with a glass file every day to keep it from callousing too thick & having to go to deeper with the pricker! Ouch!😱 THAT really is me exclaiming in pain!😱
