My 28 year old son shouts at me when I give him an Alarm knock every day. The answer is usually, “I’m Awake”. When I know he’s not!
Makes me wonder if it’s worth trying to wake him up for work
Hi everyone
At 8:28am it was 4.1 for me following a night out and away with my hubby
Breakfast
10:24am 6.4 - 44g of carbs - 5 5 units humalog food - guessed the carbs which was 2x rounds of toast in Morrisons cafe
Teatime & Bedtime
23:44pm 10.4 had 1x malted milk biscuit. During the evening had 3x whisky & diet cokes
20:32pm 8.4 - this was my bgl from 19:56pm before tea but I used it for injecting after tea because I ate out - 67g of carbs - 7.0 units humalog food - 0.5 units correction
A 4.3 very early in the morning, but once up the DP lifted me up to 7.9 before breakfast.
I am still tempted to do something about a reading in the low 4s but have learnt to accept that it will go up As soon as I am up and about.
I actually get the full package as Diabetic team put me onto the 4Sure Smart Duo Metre. With that come the full DiabetesM app once you register the meter, by ringing and giving the serial number.
All my data is then sent through to the Diabetes Centre within seconds.
the food section I can’t find accurate foods, (Could be me) so I use FatSecret App.
I hope that you had a better night @Michael12421 @rebrascora I hang on to being told that 70% TIR is very good. The Libre tells us so much more than our finger pricks, and shows the overnight lows, but can also be overload
This must be a first. I am up early as I wanted to check that my You Tube link is working for the song I wrote about living with T1 Diabetes, released today to celebrate World Diabetes Day
It is sung by family and friends and here is the link to the You Tube video of The Best That I Can
Links to You Tube not possible on here so try and search for
Sue Briggs - The Best That I Can
It will be great if you can share this with anyone and everyone to raise awareness of what it can be like to live with T1 Diabetes
@SB2015 can you tell me what to search to find it on YouTube as links to YouTube haven't been available via the forum for a while and I'd love to give it a listen xx
Good morning everyone. Wow, nowhere near the first up this morning.
Arm is sore after the Covid booster jab yesterday.
I may have to do some exercise after yesterdays celebrations with my daughter & co. They brought the most delicious huge home made vegan lemon cheesecake !!!!
BG 4.5 why all the 4's? Happy tho 🙂 and Covid jab doesn't seem to have affected things there too 🙂 but an hour later and I am feeling a bit rough. Sigh.
Late this next week will see the start of my 14 day self isolation before the eye op. I think I will do a count down to the op.... maybe

Good to read the weather report for my town without even opening a blind.
10.8 this morning. Still feeling a bit off but just internal stuffiness and headache not outwardly coughing, sneezing or nose blowing etc. Lateral flow test negative too so time to get ready to play, least I won’t be hypo half way through the remembrance service.
Morning all, 5.0 here. Woke up at 3am with a reading of 2.9! Not that I was really that low, (the Libre always reads lower than a finger prick at the bottom end. which is why I disable the low alarm at night, while my hypo awareness is reliable, it would always be going off, otherwise, and disturbing me and OH unnecessarily ) but I was obviously low enough to wake up. Jelly babies consumed, Libre showing 6 with an upward arrow 15 minutes later, and I went back to sleep.
8.7 this morning, just about to go out for my run. Going bake another 7 Christmas cakes today, baked 7 yesterday, then that only leaves one more batch to make.
