Group 7-day waking average?

I’m cream crackered already! I’m safely ensconced in the kitchen pretending to tidy up whilst Mr Eggy is watching TeleTubbies with her! Also had the added “bonus” of eldest daughter popping in with two of her tribe ( grandson at orthodontist appointment) for lunch. So the chicken soup I made for tomorrow’s lunch ( the farmers’ children coming to stay) has now been demolished! So got to think of something else now! All I do is feed folks!

Talking of opticians my retinal screening came back all clear, thank goodness as it was over 2 years since my last one.

<3 brilliant

@ColinUK you keep on defying them and keep stabbing your own body with tools paid for by your own money. (what a joke)
Glad numbers came back to something more normal for you 🙂

I showed the receptionist the readings from the morning and she's obviously been well briefed by the GP as she snapped "Where did you get these from? You're not testing at home are you because the doctor doesn't like that?"
I mean seriously wtff!!

Honestly, that made me see absolutely red! How very dare she! I'm afraid I'd have been icily polite, but have put her right in her place! Hugs!

@Lyna, just wanted to say hello and welcome. I read your story and was very touched. Hope you will enjoy yourself here.

Nagging at the back of my mind is that someone got an HS this morning and I can't remember who... but congratulations whoever it was.

I wonder what sent your blood glucose sky high?

Huff the Tragic Dragon! Love it!😉
 
A 7.0 this morning, not so good - could have been the keto meat pie, the upset stomach, the COPD exacerbation - or a combination - note to self: go easier on the hidden cheese! I do know how too much dairy affects me, one day I might learn lol
Had to go shopping alone today so ventured off to Tesco's for a good old browse, rarely get the chance to do that so I made the most of it.
Have a good weekend all 🙂

I wonder whether that attitude is held by lots of GPs. My mum has t2, caused by age she told me. She has only used a meter a couple of times and the GP she saw told her off, said she shouldn't be testing and to throw it away!! Since then she's never tested. She eats carbs, cakes, sweets and thinks its ok and won't listen to me, because the GP said she shouldn't test she's not testing 🙄
 
@Lyna welcome to the thread. Kaiser is gorgeous, give him a pat from us.
 
I get so frustrated with GPs and meters.
(I have to have one for gliclazide so they cant moan at me too much.)
Calling them with rubbish readings and concerns is like talking to a brick wall some days.
One told me my "bad day" fingers pricks were probably just the top of the spikes and I was dropping inbetween them. (I mean they psychically knew my bg at all times right). I then got moaned at for doing a libre trial which proved them wrong in that case :rofl:.
They just love T2s who pop a pill and do not much more and let the hba1c tell the whole story (please note sarcasm at the a1c telling all).
They must really hate the forums here for actually telling folks to take an active role in your T2D management.

Come on T2s lets RIOT holding up our meters. "WE WILL TEST. WE WILL TEST"

Just to note I may have a temperature at the mo and slightly loosing the plot :rofl:

My GF is the same. Justified by her GPs attitude to testing.
 
Bit late. 10.1 this morning. If I get a 10.4 can I just count it as 2 x HS
 
Morning all. Can’t believe I’m first in today but here I am.

After yesterday’s inexplicable rollercoaster today I woke up with a 6.7 which is, to quote Baga Chips, much better!
