Morning

7.2 on Libre, 7.7 via blood, turned the low alarm off overnight as it was alarming and saying 2.9 when I was 9.0 but hoping that's it settled now! Bled slightly again

@Bloden not shy, it was just applied after tea seen as I'd had to take my new one applied Saturday night off yesterday morning after it failed, will call Abbott in a bit but the posts on the UK Libre group yesterday suggests I may have a long wait as seems to have been a few with problems 🙄 xx

I totally agree with your rant, at the restaurant food. Why is it that vegetarian and vegan foods have to be on the menus, ( a human choice) but food that’s suitable for diabetes sufferers is missing.
when first diagnosed, I spoke to my son a trained chef, who said he didn’t know much about it as diabetics would decide which foods they would have from the menu. He did say if they wanted he would mix and match food from different meals.

I agree in one way as we should be responsible for our choices but those choices do need to be available on the menu. I have suggested they speak to their dietician as being such a huge company (under the umbrella of Bourne Leisure) they MUST have a dietician on the books. One other thing that really bugs me is the amount of places that don’t offer or ‘have run out’ of sweetener when you order a coffee. I normally carry some with me but sometimes I just go out with my phone and don’t have them on me, I thought sweeteners were standard nowadays. Oh dear I sound like I’m ‘on’ one today lol.
 
Morning. 5.6 on this late morning ( for me). Third restless night on the trot. Still awake at almost two o’clock after going to bed at 10.30. Muggy nights don’t help. Will try and get some exercise today and see if that helps, haven’t left the house for various reasons since Wednesday. Too hot for a walk, too wet for a walk, visitors etc.

Congratulations @DuncanLord @Gwynn and @Bloden on your HSs. Well done. It’s a while since I’ve had one, must try harder! Have a Happy Monday all. 🙂
 
Congratulations to out trio of House Specialers this morning @DuncanLord @Gwynn and @Bloden

I'm not joining you as I checked in with a 5.0 at 05:11 this morning after a 5.5 at 07:25 yesterday. We had my step son and his partner visiting over the weekend which was a great help with the baby.

My son will be gutted today. He was off school last week with a non-COVID viral rash. On Saturday his form tutor tested positive for COVID and his whole class is at home self isolating while he has had to join another class.
 
Well seems they have changed the recordings for Abbott helpline since I last called a few weeks ago, sensor replaced and they actually want this one back so will give it to Bruce to deal with lol xx
 
10:15 BS 6.5 🙂

Woke briefly at 06:00 for LR & had another snooze afterwards. Up now for tesco shopping, 11:00 to 12:00, eat & probably back to bed: currently in catching up on lost sleep mode! A stream of z’s emoji! 🙄

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

I’ve definitely overdone it when both my hands are very stiff & sore from holding the iPad mini 5 & have to keep wriggling the fingers to unkink them for movement! 😱 Have to give myself an iPad free day today & this is the only time I’m checking in on the forum: my fingers are feeling it typing this post; have to wriggle them like mad again once I’ve done typing!😱
 
3.4 for me this morning on the Libre but finger prick said 4.2 so I am OK with that.
We had a tropical storm yesterday afternoon. Lightning was really close and thunder shook the house and briefly knocked out the electric and rain deluged. I had to dash out to make sure my blind hen hadn't got caught out in it. Of course she was safe under cover but I got drenched in the less than a minute it took to check even with a coat over my shoulders. It was like someone had tipped a bucket over me! Quite refreshing though as it was unbearably close and hot in the morning here and biting flies were out in force eating me and the animals... Not nice!

@Bloden @DuncanLord and @Gwynn Many congrats to you all on your trio of House Specials

@Ali11782 WooHoo!! Great 24hr profile! Shame about FOTF blotting your record this morning but no one said it was easy! It's a while since I managed a full 24hrs without a minor blip somewhere top or bottom of the scale. It does make you feel good when you achieve it though.

7.8 this morning adjusted Novorapid at breakfast as lunch time readings were a bit high 6.3 before lunch so hopefully it worked.

Are you on a pump or mdi? If you're on mdi like myself was it your breakfast ratio you adjusted? How many high lunchtime readings have you had before you decided to adjust your breakfast novorapid?
 
04:53 BS 7.8 🙂

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

Hands are almost back to normal today but, with a new permanent callus, I’m afraid, on my left index finger: along with the ones on my left thumb & left little finger that’s been there for ages; it’s the weight of the iPad that mostly strains my left hand & I was shifting it to my right hand when it got too much but, I suppose my left hand is that bit stronger as it’s more used to baring the weight! My right hand is still a bit stiff this morning when my left is more or less there, with a newly added callus! 😱 Still better try not to push it too much today, again, by using the iPad too much!🙄
