Just a whisker away today - 5.1. 🙂

Morning all. :D 10.2 here - good grief, this diabetes lark makes no sense. Back to the drawing board...again!😛

Lots to do today - it’s weird how renovating just one room can turn the whole house upside down.o_O🙂
 
Morning all. 6.5 on this glorious morning. Had a wee bit of a lie in, which was nice for a change. Shattered but happy after having kids sleeping over and then 10 for lunch yesterday! TBF baby Zara didn’t need feeding! Our first proper birthday get together for such a long time, it was great fun.

Today will mostly be spent lounging and reading and possibly eating 85% chocolate and drinking Diet Coke.

Lovely to see @ColinUK and @KARNAK back, although Ted, what we gonna do with you? Take care please.
@Michael12421 that number is a bit low, hope you’re ok.

Have a sunny Saturday wherever and whatever you’re all doing. 🙂
 
Good morning All,
Hope everyone is well.
I woke at 07:00 with the sudden realisation that I had not done my pre bed BG check. It had been checked at 20:20 two hours after tea when it had been 6.9.
Remember looking at the clock at 22:30 but then was watching telly in bed.
I felt ok, tested and was 6.1 so no panic had been needed.
On a plus side my weight is falling, without trying too hard apart from watching carbs, when ch I have to do anyway. When started on decent amounts of meds so I was not feeding the insulin, I was 17 stone 1lb. This morning 16 stone 3.
Well stay safe everyone.
 
Morning all and 5.7 for me.

Looking grand outside again.
Dug my old bike out of the shed yesterday pumped the tyres up and gave everything an oil. Gears need some adjustment but other than that all good.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, 4.7 or 5.9 here, first reading seemed a bit lower than expected, looking at the overnight trace, so I suspected I'd been lying on the sensor just before I woke, and sure enough, ten minutes later I'd bounced back up.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
This morning I've been feeling really fed up since I did my waking blood glucose so please be kind with me.

7:17am - 14.1 finger prick - waking - 4 unit correction of humalog - 20 units of tresiba - I've increased the tresiba this morning from 19 units to 20 units
22:56pm - 5.5 finger prick - bedtime - because bg was below 8mmol had 1 digestive biscuit - 9g of carbs
21:48pm - 4.6 finger prick - 2 hrs after tea - didn't want to go any lower so had 2 bags of crisps both 7g of carbs each so 14g of carbs in total
19:45pm - 6.4 finger prick - tesco indian meal - 69g of carbs - 7 units of humalog taken when I started eating

Good morning
woke today to a relieving 5.5

following a shocking 16 ! OMG (before bed)

A before bed SIXTEEN last night was shockingly high
glad I’m testing and understanding what’s going on these days (most of the time)

the culprit was a Donor Kebab for dinner (it was delicious)
but obviously carb rich and came in folded naan
and swimming in chilli sauce which I dare say was high in sugar.

But hey, before I finally cracked how to get my levels under control (just under a year ago)
back then I rare ly even tested, and when I occasionally did, saw those kind of numbers
on a regular basis (rarely even in single figures)

Tomorrow (the 6th of June) will be the first anniversary of my Mothers passing
I’m starting to upset myself now thinking about her,
Mums passing was one of the contributing factors in me finally turning things around.

2020 and the start of 2021 has been a traumatic time,

but really I’m so glad I finally started to control the diabetes,
before the diabetes was definitely controlled me.
6am now time for me to go and make myself make a cup of Tea
before I bore my fellow finger prickers any more.

Have a Great Weekend Everyone

Take things easy on yourself, I am sure your mum is proud of you.
 
A oh so near, oh so far 5.3 this morning, lost another 3lb, hopefully will make it to 1 1/2 stone next week.

Sorry been through all the posts and forgot to hit like again, so will go back later once I have been shopping.

Have a nice weekend all, slight hint of blue sky here in South West Essex
 
Morning all. After another 3am spike (so annoying..i just can't get that sorted, don't know what to do any more) had 2u then went back to sleep. Libre alarm woke me 6hrs later with a low 4.4 (one extreme to another!). Had a JB and woke at a more decent time with a 4.9.
Its a lovely warm sunny day here, got to get the food shopping done and washing then i might relax outside for a bit.
Have a lovely day whatever you are doing.
 
4.7 Garden heaven
 
Just a few thoughts on reading people’s thoughts on this thread.
I know I’ve only been diagnosed for a short period of time but are we getting too hung up on the science of readings and what they say compared to how we feel.
Let me share something my mother told me back in the 60’s and 70’s and you will see what I mean.
She had been Type 1 from 1929 at the age of 3, and tested, ( when I knew her) with urine and Cline sticks checking colours.
She maintained that she could tell what it was going to be most of the time. She ate and drank what she wanted and then injected insulin twice a day. She also often got annoyed with my father, a General Practitioner who wanted more test results. She also maintained that Diabetes was to live with her rather than her living with it.
I can also remember the time in hospital that the consultant, having read all the data, said that she should have this and that to eat and so much insulin. She insisted that it should be a full meal and so much insulin. She even turned and said, “I’ve been a diabetic longer than you have been alive”. She ate full meal, had her units and was balanced.
She also maintained that everything should be treated in moderation, including moderation.
Yes we look at test results, count carbs and perform calculations on what we need. If it goes slightly away from the normal, we are only human and re alignment is carried out.
I just hope I can have a similar relationship with Type 1 as my mother.
It lives with me, as my slave, rather than me living with it.
Keep cheerful everyone and let’s have a great day.
 
Good morning only just got up a well deserved 12.7 trying to keep levels high in accordance with
guidelines for many hypos, BBQ today fresh fish on the menu with Langoustines, hope you are all
well and @ColinUK thinking of you.

No problem @eggyg and @SueEK bouncer backer me is.😉

Missed the banter gradually getting myself geared up to upset the moderators.:D

Well said @DuncanLord, mum knows best. 🙂

Take care stay safe, watch out Teds about.😱:D

Update 10:39am
10:01am - a nice 5.2 finger prick - breakfast time - 36g of carbs and only 1 unit of humalog because I still had active insulin working from the correction at 7:17am - waking.
 
Disappointing 9.4 when the alarm went off... (6.57am on my Libre). Barely woke up but injected my Levemir (10 units in each cheek 😳) and 5 units of Fiasp in stomach to cover breakfast and correction without even sitting up and promptly fell back off to sleep 😱, that's if I ever really woke up. It seemed to be very deep sleep! Woke up again almost 2 hours later!!! (8.54am) on an unbelievable 5.2 and amazingly an horizontal arrow. Consider myself rather lucky I woke up at all with 5units of Fiasp in my system for 2 hours😱.... Prebolus of 40-45 mins is my norm for Fiasp which was why I felt comfortable to roll over and sleep a bit longer..... not 2 hours though!! Mad dash to get breakfast into me before I plummeted into the red. Thank heaven for Foot on the Floor! Just dipped into the red whilst I was eating it but only a 3.8 on the Libre before coming back up, so a bit of a Phew! (wiping sweat from brow emoji) and now up to a comfortable 5.6 with a nice horizontal arrow.
Am I jammy or what!! Can't afford to do that too often. Was a really lovely restful lie in though!
 
Morning all, gorgeous again, makes you feel good to be alive!

7.6 @ 8.44

I'm watching Outrageous Fortune in the background, one of my fave films, luv Bette Midler to bits and Shelley Long is good too. 10/10 for this film. Mum would like it but it's 5Star so no subtitles and she's still snoring anyways .
 
@Martin.A So pleased to read you got your rum and raisin ice cream eventually!
