Morning. 4.7. New sensor so I thought it was playing silly beggars but it’s true. My meter matched my Libre exactly.
Only surfaced, I did the night “shift” with Mr Eggy. 10pm-3am. MIL still hanging on. It was an awful experience that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. She was very, very agitated, I know that’s often a sign they’re on their way out. Barring 10 minutes, 12.30-12.40, she flung herself about, trying to sit up, all with her eyes closed, tapping all the time, wringing her hands, throwing her bedcovers off and trying to take her top off. She’s fighting it all the way, I just wish she’d fought like that years ago instead of having terminal hypchondria her whole life. It’s as if she’s thought, heck this is real. It was very distressing, Mr Eggy said it’s the worst she’s been. At 2.50 they gave her an injection to calm her down, it worked straight away, his brother arrived just minutes later and we left. Bed at 3.30, I’d been up since 5.30 and hadn’t napped, Mr E had had a couple of naps through the day. He’s back at 1pm, I’m hoping he won’t need to. I don’t know how they are coping day in and day out, I won’t be going back.
We should have had child care duties today but other grandparents having taken over, they would have been a nice distraction but we just couldn’t have done it today.

I only had 56 left in the old pen & was a bit irritated in getting a new pen from the fridge, always taking about 10 units on average to get it flowing, to put in the last 12. I’d just eaten around 10:00 so, I wasn’t unduly worried by a wee rise up again after my BS had already peaked & on the way down as my BS does wobble about a bit but, it kept rising steadily over the next few hours & then, REALLY started rising steeply! WHAT was going on? Then, I remembered I didn’t hear the empty reservoir click when putting in the second pen jab & I kept pressing the button to make sure I’d emptied it & all of the dose was in! So, I thought DID I EVEN DIAL UP 12 in the first place as I HAVE absentmindedly stuck in NR jabs before without dialling up the dose, realise it, pull it out, dial up the dose & stick it in again! I can see right away if the dose hasn’t been dialled up with NR as it sticks out at the back but, tresiba doesn’t do that! NOW, I thought, if I stick in 12 units & I’m wrong I COULD be frantically eating if my BS drops like mad BUT, my BS had gone from the 5’s to the 10’s in 5 hours so, around 17:00 I stuck it in! Phew! Over the next few hours my BS DID fall eventually although, it took a while for it to move, & it was in the 8’s by the time I went to bed just after midnight. It dropped a bit while I slept with a bit of a wibbly wobbly line around BS 7 overnight & a wee rise in the last hour before I woke back up to just below 8.
