Oh dear, is it still warm and sticky down there?

It is indeed! 😱 My house is also warmer because of the cavity wall insulation put in earlier in the year, but I'm sure I won't be complaining about it later in the year! 🙂

Nice number KC 🙂
 
Morning!🙂 7.1 here.
 
4.8 for me this morning, woke up sweaty and thought might be having a hypo but nope it was just the weather. :D

It's quite chippy here at the moment, although we had a few humid days last week. You'll be glad of that insulation soon I'm sure. 5.3 might be my new favourite :D

Phone call with my practice nurse who looks after my diabetes:
Fstng readings:
- no point in doing these tests because fasting is when you've not actually had anything to eat
- moving around ie general downstairs upstairs moving around the home dosen't really matter unless you've been doing something really strenous
Bf bfast readings:
- use this as the fasting & also bf bfast reading because you've not had anything to eat
- the first reading of the day is the one to concentrate on to see if BI needs reducing or decreasing
- maybe increase lantus by just 2u because of the 9.8 & the 9.1 which aren't really too bad. 23.1 was a one off because of possibly forgetting BI the previous night
Bf bed readings:
- if in double figures ie the 14.7 reading just do a couple of units of bolus

Gill is the nurse a DSN? The advice to increase the Lantus seems to be based on one reading that includes a hypo correction. That doesn't sound logical to me or have I misunderstood?

Hi KookyCat,
No the nurse isn't a DSN she's the practice nurse who looks after my diabetes. She's a practice nurse but also trained to do diabetes care.
The advice to increase lantus by just 2u was because of the 2 readings 9.8 & 9.1 bf bfast

I might be misunderstanding the figures Gill (brain like mush!), was the 9.1 before brekkie reading the same day as the fasting reading of 2.5? Or was that a different day? It looked to me like you woke at 2.5 and then were 9.1 before breakfast after you'd treated the hypo. Have I got myself muddled by the figures?

Yes the 9.1 before brekki reading was the same day as the fasting reading of 2.5. The hypo was one of those hunger hypos so I ended up eating 6x jelly babies 30g of carbs instead of my usual 4x then 15 mins later when I did a hypo chek I ate 2x plain digestives which were 18g carbs altogether for my follow up treatment.
