Musac in shops and malls wherever you go is one of my pet hates. It is always the screeching Mariah Carey types they love to put on, it just constantly grates on me with today's non-music. I think contemporary music stopped in the early 1990's. No melodies, no innovation, nothing since then that makes you sit up and listen and think wow, that's new.Good, well nearly afternoon for me, morning.
Not keen on winter, but just absolutely love Christmas.
BG 4.8 again. That's 3 times in a row. Twice yesterday and once this morning. I wonder if my meter has got stuck. A good number to get stuck on though.
Pizza tonight. Well, a tiny portion of one.
Weight down a fraction. Phew. I was worried that I had started a terrible non-stop upward trend.
One great thing about self isolation (day 7) is that I can't hear any of the constantly repeated old twee Christmas pop songs in the shops. Love their decorations though. I shall miss those. Hopefully I will be ok to get out again before Christmas (with ear plugs)
Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
Uh! Starting the day with a hypo; NEVER nice! 😱First off ....
@Lanny VERY HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY!
Hope you have a fab day. You have obviously had a good start to it eating Mr Kipling and watching Strictly....
I will have to look on You Tube for John and Johannes DA DA Da DAH routine! It sounds like something I will enjoy. Very dramatic I imagine!
Unfortunately I woke in the red again at 5.38am. Libre said 2.4 but finger prick was a little less naughty at 3.4. Red line on Libre is about 2 hours long though. 😱. Not sure what else I can do about it as I didn't have any insulin at all last night and went to bed on 11.1 (again!) with an upward sloping arrow and cheese and peanut butter on board. Last insulin was a correction with Fiasp at 1.30pm. The 22 units of Levemir I had at 6am yesterday were struggling to hold me steady through the day so I can't really reduce that and I have come to the conclusion it is down to ambient temp and body temp and exercise. When I start to feel cold and shiver particularly when sitting still, my BG levels go up and I need a correction. When I go out and exercise they hold steady or need a slight carb top up. When I am all warm and cosy in bed through the night they drop. Although the house is not cold, I am resisting turning the storage heaters up to what might be a more comfortable temp. When I come in on a night, I start to feel cold and shivery quite quickly (even though I was absolutely fine whilst I was out walking in the freezing cold and I just want to climb into bed with a hot water bottle rather than cook something to eat.
Going to try doing most of my exercise in the morning today and maybe cook at lunchtime. The last couple of days I have happily lived off breakfast (yoghurt berries and seeds) and some cheese and peanut butter the rest of the day and doing quite intensive work, but I need to have a proper meal today with plenty of veggies. Quite happy about shedding the bit of weight I put on in the Spring though
Looking back through my records, I have had a similar period of nocturnal hypos the last 2 years at this time of year and it does pass, so I am guessing it is just a phase my body goes through with the changing of the seasons, the temperature change and my routine with the horses. Libre stats are shot again though with 11% below target for last 7 days![]()
Most likely the lowering effects of alcohol? 🙄7.8 for me today, checked twice - once before and once after my morning exercises. Strange as I went out to a restaurant for dinner last night, just had a mixed grill and a (rare for me) cup of coffee after a pint of Doombar and an hour later I was only 6.7. Doesn't make any sense to me, like a lot of thing in today's mad world. Oh well got our little granddaughter for the day today, that should sort me out pdq!
This is karma at work:

@Lanny Many happy returns for you...
I do wonder if maybe our bodies want our BG to be low during the night at this time of year for some reason. I have to say, I don't feel bad for it @Lanny, so don't worry about me.Morning all, 4.0 here. I seem to have the same sort of thing going on @rebrascora. My Libre graph crawled along the top of the red most of last night, but at 3.30am I woke up feeling genuinely hypo, (Libre said 2.8, I doubt I was that low) so treated with 3 jelly babies, came up to 5.7 after 15 mins, so went back to sleep. Libre graph has me rising a bit more…then plummeting straight back down to the low 4s/high 3s again. I doubt the 2.5 units of bedtime Levemir could mop up 15g of glucose so quickly, so it must be that I can still produce a bit of endogenous insulin, hospital certainly commented that they thought I probably was because of my low background insulin needs.
Happy 50th birthday, @Lanny ! Glad the cake is going well!
Looks like he is also wearing a strap to protect it.Good morning 🙂 5.7 for me today 🙂
Anyone else spot Nikita's Libre sensor on tonight's Strictly? 🙂

There was no strap, that's just a shadow from his shirt sleeve I think xxLooks like he is also wearing a strap to protect it.
A woman I work with uses one as a fitness tracker thing rather than a glucose meterAre you behind the times? a few of us noticed it in the first show lol and commented on it xx
