Very happy to join
@Robin (my diabetes twin) on the 6.3 step this morning. Had a bit of a rejig of my Levemir yesterday and decreased my daytime by 2 units but increased last night by a half.
We have about an inch of snow lying here this morning but it is bright and sunny with blue sky, so not unpleasant although pretty chilly.
@Gwynn Congrats on your HS.
@Moon.Star8 Welcome to the thread. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Waking reading is often the last to come down so hang in there and keep persevering.
When do you currently test? Many of us find that our levels start to rise as soon as we get out of bed, so we test before we get up, literally as soon as we wake up. That gives us a better reflection of what our levels have been doing overnight rather than the last half hour when it may have shot up whilst we went to the loo and got washed and dressed and made ourselves a coffee etc. It is surprising how much glucose our liver can dump into our blood stream in that short period.... or you may be one of the unlucky ones whose liver is triggered by the light and starts pumping glucose as soon as the sun comes up, even before we wake up, which can be a problem as the days get longer.
@ColinUK Don't let a lack of confidence prevent you from getting there. Even if you walk most of the way, you are certainly capable of doing this and you will meet some really interesting people and have a great time. Think of it like an extra special Park Run if it makes it a bit less intimidating. And hopefully you will be meeting up with
@Grannylorraine for moral support. I would come and cheer you both on if I wasn't 300+ miles away. I have every confidence in you both.
@Lucyr So sorry to read that you now have Covid. You really are going through a rough patch. Hope you feel better soon and those levels come down.
