How is your basal? I see you use a different one to me but your needs could be changing? Or it could be tiredness, hormones (perhaps less likely for a gentleman!) hotter than normal shower, different amount of exercise than normal yesterday … so many things! Glad you sorted it, 2.8 is a scary number to see - lowest I’ve seen is 2.6, but suspect I’ve been lower and not confirmed with a finger prick a couple of times from how I’ve felt!Woke up 5.5 went to 2.9 hypo after shower and a cup of tea - felt it before the Libre 2 sensor bleeped {and confirmed on finger prick 2.8) and successfully treated - only diagnosed a year ago and the 1st time this has happened - didn't drink or do anything out of the ordinary the night before? Confused dot com...
I hope your surgery goes well when it happens. I know 2 people who have had the bones fused in their ankles/feet in different areas of the country and received very different follow up. one was given boots to wear when walking after the plaster came off and the other nothing so she has really struggled and is in just as much pain as before.Hi everybody
ok I’ve been absent for a few weeks
So much going on (since we finally completed on purchasing our bungalow)
my days recently have started with meeting contractors at 7am
and I’ve not been testing everyday on waking
but yesterday was 6.9
and I think today 6.8
on top of the bungalow renovations
next week I have my pre-op (long awaited ankle surgery)
so I’m sure the bungalow will be much more comfortable
compared to the 3 storey town house we rent at the moment,
in readiness for moving into bungalow
weve already given notice on the rented house
even though the bungalow has only just been renovated-plastered,
is still mid-being rewired,
and both the roof and boiler are still leaking …lol
floors are being poured tomorrow so that’s another job done
Electrician back on site for second fix tomorrow
and kitchen goes back in on Monday
hope everybody’s doing ok..
I’ve not read any comments ,or really been online
but had a good chat with a friend (previous work colleague)
who recently discovered he’s T2
with a Hba1c heading into Tripple figures
so we had a good chat this afternoon
and that reminded me to log in and post as was telling him about this fabulous forum
TC everybody 😎
The warmer weather could be the cause. Many of us find that we need to dial our basal insulin back a bit in Spring and then up it a bit in the autumn. Have you done an increased amount of activity or exercise the last couple of days as that can definitely drop you if you haven't adjusted your levels/basal doses to factor it it.... ie gone to bed higher than normal so that you wake higher.Woke up 5.5 went to 2.9 hypo after shower and a cup of tea - felt it before the Libre 2 sensor bleeped {and confirmed on finger prick 2.8) and successfully treated - only diagnosed a year ago and the 1st time this has happened - didn't drink or do anything out of the ordinary the night before?
