Morning all, 5.1 here, was hovering just in the red most of the night, according to the Libre, but I think that may be dehydration from a certain amount of alcohol consumed yesterday. Centenarian was in good form, stood up to cut his cake, and then made a speech! He still lives independently, just has a bit of help from relatives with shopping and cleaning, hope I’m still as on the ball when I'm 100! Now we face the three hour trip back down the M6 with miles of interminable speed restrictions where they’re converting to 'smart' motorway. Which they’ll probably eventually decide is unsafe and rip it out again.
 
Still battling the overnight hypos here I'm afraid. I knocked 2 units off my evening basal last night but will confess I did go to bed a little lower than normal (in the 5s) because I thought that basal reduction would at least hold me steady. Woke up at 3am on 3.6. Arrggh!! Just had 2 Lift tablets and that sorted it but then had a bit of DP kick in this morning because of the reduced basal and woke up on 7.3 with an upward sloping arrow. 2 extra units of Fiasp along with my breakfast bolus sorted that though! Something has definitely changed with my basal needs again though. Yesterday I needed the odd top up of a dried apricot here and there. I wonder if I am going to go back to last winter's basal doses and be one of those odd people who need less basal in the winter and more in the summer!

Off for my Covid booster this afternoon so the BG rollercoaster unlikely to end anytime soon..... Will be happy to be wrong though! 😉
 
Morning all. Brrr! Heating woke me up switching it self on. It must be cold! 6.6 today, last few hours of sensor number two. The first one lasted 12 days. This one has lasted the full 14 days. TBF I bought myself an arm strap, it may have helped.

Nothing exciting happening today I don’t think, but you never know your luck!

Have a Happy Monday all. 🙂
 
Morning

10.9 here today

Don't expect to see Bruce until after 7pm tonight, he's got his flu jab (never taken it before) at 4:50pm so he probably wont make it for the back of 5 bus, he'll be lucky to make it to his appointment on time seen as he only finishes at 4:30. will get a lift into the town (hopefully) and then he'll need to move sharpish to get to the destination, mum was due at 5 but she's rescheduling hers as 3 days in a row of work has her back quite bad and as the flu jabs are being done in the next town she doesn't want to leave here at 3:45 and not get back until after 6:30 meaning a lot of standing and in the cold making it even worse for her :( xx
 
Just a quickie. 6.2 today and just about to set off home. Will catch up later x
 
😡 just off the phone to the chemist on mum's behalf seen as she's at work, Bruce picked up a prescription for her which we thought was the painkillers she'd requested but when he brought it up yesterday it wasn't. it was something not due for months, anyway woman at the chemist was insisting they were picked up with the other one, get Bruce to double check, I told her he couldn't as he was at work but he'd definitely only been given the one that he brought, after a few minutes of me not taking her word for an answer she reluctantly said "hold on, I'll go and have a look" and guess what she found at the back of a shelf, mum's painkillers! She did apologise but she could've saved us both a whole lot of time by just checking in the first place! xx
 
Morning all from a cold and dreary West Berks. Catching up after a weekend of not doing much other than washing, cleaning, cooking and watching rugby/cricket. Saturday afternoon I was watching the England cricket match on the TV while streaming the England rugby match on my iPad. Who says men can't multitask? 🙂

A 5.1 at 05:24 on Saturday, a 5.4 at 05:50 yesterday and a 6.3 at 06:20 this morning. The later is probably due to last night's roast beef Sunday dinner. I may have succumbed to a Yorkshire pudding 🙂 but not too much damage done and back on the wagon this week.

@SueEK Hope you enjoyed Hungerford and Marlborough. You were only just down the road from us. I love browsing the antique shops in Hungerford.

I'm sure there have been several (more than several?) coroner's reports condemning the so-called 'smart' lanes on the M42.

I have very fond memories of Polly's Tea Rooms in Marlborough from 30ish years ago, thankfully in pre-D days. Always a long queue down the street. Cream teas and cakes to die for!
Are they still there?

That's one for @SueEK. I tend to go to Hungerford and then straight through Marlborough to Avebury if I fancy a walk
 
Morning All
A 6.5 this morning, probably caused but not helped by a biscuit supper. Slap wrist time. BUT it was soo good.
catch you all later.
 
8.9 this morning. Very disappointing. Yesterday hubby said he was tired of fruit after dinner, so I made a Brioche lemon and blueberry souffle pudding (posh B&B pud really). I must have over-bolussed as I was hypo at 10pm. I put on a reduced 70% basal for 2 hours. Went to bed at midnight on 6.4 but BG started rising for no real reason I can discern at 4 am. @rebrascorer I think you have sent the diabetes fairy to my house!

@Robin hope you got home safely.

@Kaylz hope Mum has her painkillers now

@ everyone, wishing you a good day.
