9.5 for me this morning but that was partly intentional as I had 2 hypos last night, so wanted to bump it up a bit.... ideally not that high, but better than low again.
@mage 1 I have also been for my flu jab this morning. Hoping it doesn't bump my levels up. No word on Covid booster yet. I imagine it will be November ish and they will get the flu jabs sorted first. All incredibly well organized, as my surgery always are. 2 nurses standing at stations in the waiting room area, with appropriately high work top, so no bending down. Girl on door with hand gel and advising of procedure. Receptionist took name and directed you to whichever nurse had you on her list, uncover shoulder, jabbed and walk out the other door. Hardly had time for any crack with my nurse, who is the diabetes trained nurse at the surgery. She was interested to see my Libre arm strap as hadn't seen one before. Anyway, I would be surprised if I was in the building more than 60 seconds, probably less. Very efficient indeed and no waiting outside at all.... just a steady stream of people going in and coming out all nicely socially distanced.
@ColinUK Delighted to see you get an House Special this morning, especially as we have had a dearth on the thread for over a week I think, which might be a record in itself.
@New-journey Many congratulations on a tremendous HbA1c result. The stuff of dreams! Wow! Seriously green with envy here. So pleased you had a lovely holiday too.
@Lanny Good to read that you are finding a modification of pre bolusing that works for you. Yes, sleeping can lower your levels and not just night time sleeping. Any nap or "catch up" over 2 hours will usually do it to me.
