Morning all,
5.9 this morning after a bif of a struggle extracting blood, even warming my hands up.
Just been fod a run, a bit cold a very murky...
Supermarket today but not desperate.
@ColinUK I happen to like liquorice and in fact only the other day were we talking about catherine wheels with a round bassett in the middle and then red liquorice bootlaces!
Anyone remember those from schooldays?

A 5.4 for me at 05:51m on a morning of dense freezing fog. -1.5 on the car thermometer when we set off for school this morning.

I certainly do. 😉 I also remember eating way way too much and having a good run for my money. 😳

Just checked and now I’m at 5.6 sometimes the DF just likes to play with us a little I think.

8.4 for me this morning after a naughty carb fest yesterday to celebrate my sister's birthday. Lamb dinner with a Yorkshire pudding and 4 (yes FOUR) roast potatoes! To be fair the 4th one was an hour later when my BG was 4.2 because I over egged the insulin and I have to say it tasted nicer than the other 3 and Yorkie put together. Why do I enjoy picking at leftovers so much!
Anyway, I needed a correction of 1.5 units at bedtime and even then my levels hovered around 10 all night and then dropped into the 8s just before I woke up despite no evening Levemir.

Hi whilst some people might seem disappointed with a 9 this morning i am still happy that it is improving for me. Anything under 10 feels like a result. Hope everyone is good.

Totally agree. It really just depends where you are on your diabetes journey and 9 is certainly better than 3.
Whilst we would all like to wake up on the "optimum" 5.2 (House Special) every morning, it is just not possible and we are all striving for the best result we can get given our own personal situation.
I know 20 months ago, I was absolutely over the moon to get a reading in single figures. Last month I was really disappointed if I got a reading over 11 at any time of day or night (Libre sensor). This month my levels are doing weird things and I have to deliberately push my BG up to 12 most nights before bed to stop myself dropping too low the next morning before I wake up... and that is without any evening basal insulin when I was taking 7 units at night this time last year.
The goal posts are constantly changing and I think you have to adjust your expectation accordingly.

4.6 before breakfast for me

Hi Maca44 and welcome to the thread. That is a great first reading here considering how short a time you have been diagnosed and from your intro post it sounds like you had a very high HbA1c at diagnosis. Well done!!

G'day all. Dank foggy but bright here in Sale. Mum's fine, slept thru yay and is in fact still snoring. She's sleeping later and later. My son was shocked at how she's gone downhill since he last saw her but it's all part of the process. I just have to keep her going as long as possible and as comfortable as possible. I need to be more tactile, she likes hugs. Killer for somebody like me. Good grief. 😳

No reading from me because I'm on another bender. Not sure why. Will get back on track asap. Colin when you win the Lotto on Wednesday can I have a sub? 😛

Morning all,
A 6.0 today...

Oh man! Thought I’d be first on! Been awake since 4, up at 5.25, right hip hurting, legs restless, Mr Eggy snoring and mind full of Christmas. But all that pales into insignificance as I have brought home the Holy Grail which is 5.2! I get about 2 or 3 a year so I’m a tad excited. 🙂

 

[SueEK]

BIG congrats to you @eggyg - impressive with all that has been going on for you!!
Morning all and a 6.7 for me today. Car was so iced up yesterday and no de-icer so was 10 mins late for work yesterday. No more to add so have a good day x

 

[Lanny]

Oh @eggyg , that made me laugh: you have to post early to get the first post of the day on this thread!😉 Congratulations on your House Special so, you get a great BIG for that & all these too😛😎🙂😉

06:08 BS 7.6 🙂 I’m ok with that as I pretty sure I’m brewing something now: wasn’t completely sure yesterday but, definitely have a tenderness under my right chin now; sigh, just started to put up midday basal yesterday by +2, stayed in the 9’s & 8’s & put up midnight basal +4! Ain’t diabetes a non stop joyride: just got lowering basal right; now increasing anyway as I’m brewing something under my right chin! It always seems to be the right side, for me; must be the weaker side of my body!🙄

One note of relief though in that I got all 4 packs of broccoli rice from tesco yesterday so, have 8 micro steam bags to use & the mash potato as well! 🙂 Just put a shepherds pie in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes!😛 So, that waking BS possibly has a bit of DP but, not much TBH as my DP isn’t affected by whether I’m vertical or not at the usual 1mmol/hour.🙄 I just woke up REALLY hungry today after another day, yesterday, of only 2 meals so, straight to the kitchen to get the pie done & in the oven!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

5.3 this morning. I’m going for a walk this afternoon with a friend from Helen’s Tower to Helen’s Bay - just under 7 miles cross country.
