Morning all,
5.7 again today.
Been a lot of chat on the forum yesterday, could hardly keep up!
New shoes for the chariot yesterday, fronts anyway, off to test them later with a trip to Littlehampton for lunch.
Charity shop closed early yesterday as was a public holiday (that nobody seemed to know about) so when mum was told they were closing she nipped a few doors down the road to the hairdressers to see if they could fit her in at all, they could fit her in at half 2 so she text to let me know she'd be late as would effect tea time etc, she's pretty much gone the way mines is although a tad different but that's a lot of hair gone! Suits her though
Anyways it's a 4.9 for me this morning
And for the 2nd week in a row I forgot to put last weeks stats up yesterday so here goes
Waking average – 6.2
Total insulin – 206U
Bolus total – 69U
Basal total - 137U
xx
Morning everyone. It was 5.1 on waking and 6.1 after shower and before breakfast.
@SueEK hope you have a better day today. Its horrible to be unhappy in a job, it seems a lot of people feel like that atm. I know i'm having days like it and someone i know realised during lockdown that they had had enough and took early retirement..nice if you can afford it. Hope your meeting goes ok and you get things sorted.
Morning all. Clickety click. 6.6! Damp and fresh and the birds are happily munching away on the feeders. Ironing today and catching up with last week’s GBBO before tonight’s. My guilty pleasure. Have a terrific Tuesday. 🙂
Michael please consider what we've been suggesting, also set an alarm for through the night to check your levels, this can't go on and each one puts you more in danger of more serious consequences, it isn't safe at all and you really must look at your insulin management xx
Morning all, 5.9 here, house is roasty toasty after the plumber waved his magic wand over the boiler (something blocked, took about 5 minutes). Downside is, I now have to tackle the rest of the holiday washing which I shelved until I had the means to get it properly aired.

In a rush this morning and didn't check until after my morning cup of tea and the school run. A disappointing 7.4 for me after a string of low 6's but could that be the milk in the tea?

It could also be the adrenaline rush of getting the school run done, or just the body gearing up for the day ahead, a lot of people find their levels rise as soon as they get out of bed ('feet hit the floor' syndrome,)
I’m learning that I can’t cheat and my carb tolerance is really rather low. If I have half a pita with eggs for example then my BG rockets. It also leads me to crave more bread so it’s a vicious cycle.
Not to say I won’t ever indulge in bread again but I need to be mindful of the impact and cognisant of the things I need to do the next day to break that chain.
And on another note @Lanny I enjoyed Picard but think it’s a little slow. Looking forward to the next season though! Have you watched Discovery?
