An unheard of 5.3 for me today, no idea where that came from. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, D makes no sense whatsoever. It’s raining again and definitely cooler. Best get ready for work. Have a good day all x
Whatever happened to our summer? Very dark, very cool this morning. Ah well, better than being stiflingly hot.
5.5 for me this morning
Strange thing...Could I get any blood this morning? 6 times I had to try stabbing my fingers before I got any at all! Not sure I enjoy being a pin cushion. Must be the cold restricting the blood flow to my fingers I guess.
Busy week this week working everyday, finally have my first Dietitian appointment (phone call with Dietitian tomorroW)
Will need to chase up some hospital appointments, plus speak to my Doctor
a bit disappointed as when I weighed myself yesterday morning
having lost 28 KG since last Oct
I only needed to loose one more KG (to be overweight rather than obese)
but last week I actually put 1 KG on !
Got a consultant appointment today - telephone, of course - sometime from 1.30 to 5pm “for my convenience”. That’s a big window! Fingers crossed DAFNE’s available in my area and up n running. And I’ll be asking about a pump, again...
Upped the insulin a bit yesterday: +4 LR with the evening dose; reluctant to do so but, definitely needed it as despite upping NR with furious firefighting BS went up to the 15’s in the first half of the day & once 2nd LR dose, a bit early at 17:20, things got easier! 😱 Hay fever was awful yesterday & it’s eased a bit this morning: phlegm on waking; no coughing & just quite a bit of swallowing to clear it. Just maybe eased back on the NR a bit too much after I increased LR but, I’d rather THAT than going too low in the night!
I can’t believe that I fell asleep right in the middle of watching last night’s final episode of Brian Cox’s Adventures in Time & Space but, I was so tired & conked out! Will catch up on iPlayer later. 😳 LR is already in, still +4, & will maybe snooze some more now as I’m still tired but, asda shopping at 12:00 to 14:00 & set alarm in case I DO dose off? 🙄
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
12.3 for me. Yesterday was a bit of a naughty tea day with a BBQ at the in laws. 2 bean burgers (with rolls) a few small new potatoes snd salad but then I had lemon cheesecake and ice cream. Back on the wagon this morning though.
Good morning Everyone
Having complained about a number missing from my meter yesterday, it appears as if by magic.
No explanation why!
07:48 up pops a 5.2.
It will be just my luck if the goalposts have been moved.
Have a great day.
Cooler up here too. Was glorious at 5.55 am when I got up for the loo. That’s life!
Today’s exciting plans include; ironing whilst watching rubbish telly. Walking to the pharmacy for our prescriptions ( wheelbarrow at the ready). And sulking, as it’s not “ Freedom Day”. I’m fact I’m going to sulk until 19th July and if it still doesn’t happen I’ve going to have a flown blown tantrum.
Have a good “ non-freedom day”.Hope it hasn’t spoiled any plans. 🙂
Comgrats on the HS @DuncanLord. We don’t change the goal posts. We leave that to the government. Can you tell I’m sulking? 🙄
The diabetes fairy can be QUITE contrary at times: think you’ve got her pinned down & up she pops messing up your good control; then, can be kinder than you think at other times! 🙄😉
