Baby steps no rush and no putting yourself under pressure it's just a number that you know you can control.

Thank you, just spoken to the diabetes nurse, going to repeat bloods in 3 months as she understood the dark place I had been in following the bereavements at the end of last year. She is very encouraging of a low carb diet and pleased with my exercise and that all my other results were an improvement, so next blood test in September, so hopefully I can turn things around between now and then, plus lose a bit more weight which will help.

8.6 for me which is a bit disappointing but I went to bed on 8.4 with an upward sloping arrow so what can I expect! I was so tempted to have a 1 unit correction at bedtime, but I had had a bit of a naughty hypo earlier and not supposed to correct after a hypo, so I was good and followed the rules. At least I didn't go into double figures and TIR is still 91% with only 2% below for this week so reasonably happy with that even if average glucose is higher than I would like.

Still no rain here for weeks now but due some on Sunday.

@ColinUK I can't believe you are still functioning with the limited amount of sleep you have been getting over the past few months, let alone achieving a BG in the 6s! I am guessing you are not using sleeping tablets at the moment but that might be something to try to see if you can get your body back into a sleep pattern. Hoping you can get beyond this zombie zone you are in soon.

@merrymunky Stick at it girl! Those levels have to start coming down soon. What are your other pre and post prandial levels like. Hopefully you are seeing some improvement with those. We all know those morning fasting readings are the last to come down but they do eventually. Look for other positives like weight reduction or waist reduction etc or clothes just feeling a bit more comfortable to keep you motivated.

They are still high but had a couple of ore meal readings of 7.8-8.5 ish which is better than last week.
 
Good afternoon all. I'm waiting for the rain. I rushed out before 9 and mowed like a mad thing, s'looking good now, I'm very pleased with myself. 🙂 8.3 @ 7.57 Got my review soon, ages since I've been, got to take a sample 'no full pickle jars please' so must remember that. Will try and be good beforehand, not that it will wipe out all the damage done since my last review which was I can't remember when, yonks ago. It'll be bad news I'm sure. Self-inflicted so suck it up you sewer! :D
 
Afternoon all - been a busy day so late checking in. A 5.5 for me at 06:04 this morning.

Been steadily raining all day in West Berks

Glad you could understand that with the typos!
I had carrot and cucumber sticks with houmous and some cheese for lunch and I was still a 9.0 before tea! It’s going to be a long old process I think. I’ve just had a quorn chilli with NO rice for tea. Hoping it doesn’t spike too much now. No room for any nice snacks if I go high after tea

@ColinUK yes a few nights of Zopiclone Methinks just to give your brain a rest nothing wrong with that short term, my GP prescribes me some when things get out of hand so I always have some on standby but you do need self control to only use every now and then.

I don’t readily take zopiclone . Sometimes it just doesn’t really do anything. I took one at 11:30pm and here I am wide awake 45 minutes later.
Also I’m incredibly wary of the addictive nature of it.

Going to meditate now and hopefully drift off.

Are you ok with hummus?
I know that it plays havoc with my levels from about half an hour after having any and probably for the next four hours.
 
Bonjour. 6.2.
Checked last night before bed and was 5.5 so not a mammoth overnight increase at all.
 
Good morning. Dark this morning. (The weather, not me)

5.0 at 5am

I don't understand the human body... yesterday I cut my calories significantly (as a one off experimant), increased my exercise significantly....result expected -weight loss. Result obtained - weight gain. I'm sure the weight scales will catch up with reality sometime ! 🙂

I don't understand my GP. I ordered a prescription, went to pick it up yesterday only to discover the doctor had prescribed the wrong thing (again). They had to do an emergency (?) prescription for me (well that's what the receptionist called it). Last time this happened the doctor refused a life nescessary prescription. When I complained he did come out an appologise to me and correct the mistake. But how many mistakes cause actual harm, especially if the patient is very ill or disabled with poor eyesight and cannot easily check the given presription items. Scary stuff.

I don't understand my wife. She was actually ok yesterday. Well mostly. Not to complain though.

Sigh
 
5.1 for me today. 🙂

6.1 this morning, so heading back into the 5’s. No ice cream yesterday. It’s very wet outside. We visited Sir Walter Scott’s home yesterday. It’s extremely interesting. Have a good weekend folks.
