Morning all. 8.3 this morning after needing two corrections yesterday. I spoke too soon about it settling down a bit. Just today and tomorrow until the weekend, am so tired.
Morning... Are we all ready for another day of carb counting.
4 for me this morning but I sat between 3 and 4 all night, woke up with it but I just couldn't move to get my dextrose. Which isn't good is it.

6.5 today, still sneezing so probably why my numbers are high, but really fed up of being in the 6s, especially as I only have 3 months to get my HbA1c down. Oh well I will just have to work doubly hard when I am better, going to try some gentle yoga now as haven't done any exercise for a week.
Morning all, 5.1 here. I was running high all yesterday again. Had almost decided that it was compromised insulin, as I had it in my bag for several days last week when we were having a heatwave, but I rage bolused a correction plus lunchtime dose far too early for when I was intending to eat, and plummeted. So, can’t blame the insulin, just me then.
Morning all. A much more pleasing 6.5 for me today.
Lovely day at Charmouth and Lyme Regis yesterday. I beat my husband at crazy golf...phew....even at the 18th, so a tense few minutes before it was decided who would be buying the ice creams...mint choc chip for me🙂
Well done in house specials this morning.
I bet it was lovely on the Hamble yesterday @Maca44
6.3 for me today I am still trying to get patient access to my results asked doctor and she printed of the last five years of my Hba1c she all so explain my last blood test results in detail but no access I will keep on trying
It looks a bit like my graph on days where I’m cycling between hypo-dodging carbs and panicked insulin corrections. Was that happening or is yours usually like that?
Sorry about the long low overnight Might be worth setting an alarm for 2-3am tonight?
7:24am - 7.4 - waking - 19 units of tresiba
23:07pm - 4.7 - bedtime - had 4 rich tea fingers 16g of carbs, a bit of salmon and some cheese - no humalog for the biscuits
@Ali11782 no it really isn't good to allow a hypo to carry on, for one it's dangerous and you may go lower, each hypo kills brain cells and spending too much time down low can significantly increase the risk of losing hypo awareness which is horrible, experienced it on a few occasions over the years myself, I'm not trying to scare you but please treat right away before you end up in a situation where you can't treat them yourself, I know at times it's difficult to muster up the strength to move and get things but keep them closer to you or even on you to ensure you can act appropriately, hope you aren't feeling too rough today xx
