Did you try checking their website? xx
 
Morning all,
another Heinz Special at 5.7 two days in a row!
I'll take that after a delish afternoon tea yesterday... yum.
@eggyg we love Tim Vine, seen him at Spring Harvest in the past!
Spending the morning trying to transfer data from old phone to slightly newer one courtesy of my daughter, I get all her hand me downs... 🙂

Blessings Snowwy
 
4.1 this morning.
Woke up with my right hand completely numb and with some visual problems so that was a bit scary. Had some glucose and was 5.2 after 15 minutes. Bit of a headache now but otherwise eyes and hand are fine.

It was chocolate night last night and indulged in my usual delicious 100g bar of Galaxy but I went for a very long walk afterwards so that might have caused the hypo.

Had eyes tested last week and was waiting for prescription to arrive. 2 days before they did arrive, my eyesight noticeably changed back to where they were a couple of months ago. As expected the new prescription for both long and short distances were now both useless. Opticians kindly swapped both lenses back to what they were and I can drive, read and use a computer again. I should have been a bit more patient before getting my eyes tested - it's only been a month since diagnosis. I wonder if the rapid change in BG levels was why my eyesight temporarily changed and it was only this week that they sorted themselves out when the levels steadied.

To celebrate my first month of being on insulin, here's my blood sugar readings each day since I started (mmol/L on the vertical axis and days on the horizontal axis, 4-5 tests per day) . Looks like I'm in the "honeymoon phase" for now. A bit of fine tweaking needed to keep me at this level. The gaps in the graph separate each day.

Morning all, 4.8 here. Just back from a few days away, and our central heating has gone into a sulk. Plumber is inundated with similar calls and can’t get to us til Monday, so won’t be stirring too far from the gas fire all weekend.

Are you on very little insulin doses then? As that's what indicates a honeymoon period, not your general levels xx
 
Good morning to you all. Its a 5.1 for me this morning.
Its very dark here atm and will be raining soon. A day for staying in so this morning i'm going to finish younger daughters crochet scarf (i taught myself over lockdown, i'm not very good and can only do basic stitches/follow simple patterns but its a start) get some washing done and on the heated airer then clean the house. All good fun for me today (!).
Whatever you are all doing, have a good day.
 
Couldn't log on here earlier - kept getting a "server error" any body else having problems?
Anyway my earlier reading was 5.5. 🙂

I'm on about 35 units bolus a day for a typical 250g carbs with 22 basal.
No idea if that's high, low or normal. My bolus ratio is 1:7 but today I'm moving to 1:8.

I wouldn't say that's typical of a honeymoon period, for the first 2 years I honeymooned and only required 1 unit basal and was using between 1:15 and 1:20 ratios, levels alone are no indication of a honeymoon period xx

It's been happening on and off for over a week at different periods of the day, right pain but hey ho lol, maybe @everydayupsanddowns could shed some light and let us in on whats going on lol xx
 
Morning, 6.2 today and it hasn’t stopped raining. Hubby came down last night and he is full of cold, hope he gets rid of it soon or his cystoscopy won’t go ahead.
Have a good day all, stay dry x

First time I had it was early last week, 503 service temporarily unavailble and as I say its been happening almost everyday since at some point throughout the day, especially annoying when you've been notified by email that you have a message and can't reply to it lol xx

I got the 'too many users' message earlier on this morning too, @everydayupsanddowns , when I was trying to get back to the 'New posts' page, followed by an error code page, (but sometimes my ipad just throws up any old error page number if it runs into problems with a site,)

Morning all you layabouts. Get yourselves up it’s 6.21! 😱 7.5 today, might have been the chippy tea, who knows?😉 I had just walked 11 miles around Derwentwater, so I think I deserved it. Back to wedding planning today. Hence why I’m up at this Godforsaken hour. Got a list as long as my arm, TBF that’s not very long as I’m only 5ft 2ins and have very short arms and have to roll up all my sleeves. It’s a long list though, maybe as long as Richard Osman’s arm. Have a fab weekend, it’s gonna be wet up here.:(
