How was the eye treatment?
 
Good morning everyone. 5.5 this morning for me. Libre sensor change day today and so pleased the sensors are working well for me and maintaining good accuracy.
 
Morning all, the BT 'net is working fine now my bro has got it up and running for me. At 70 next year I don't do that kind of thing, my remaining braincells can't cope. 🙂 Bit nippy innit? Worried about the gas shortage coming up, I hates to be cold, I was cold as a kid and now can't bear it. 7.0 for me today after a really bad choice for dinner last night, probably went right up and crazily back down again. Daft is my middle name. Hoping to get in the garden today... have a good day all.
 
6.3. Managed to drag myself out of bed a little earlier today but better get a move on and get ready to leave :yawn:
 
good morning

6.9 for me following a restless night, my itchy skin has returned with vengeance, spent all night itching everything from my ear lobes to my feet. Thought cutting out sugar had cured it as had 3 months free from it after changing my diet. Dermatologist diagnosed nodular prurigo but after the blood test he organised showed high glucose I assumed it was caused by the diabetes so if its controlled would stop. Seems I am wrong. Can I take antihistamines with diabetes as seriously cant cope with this all over again, it stops me sleeping and makes me miserable.. I was prescribed strong steroids and stopped using it when I found out I am diabetic, so hope to avoid having to use them again as they are very strong and can cause problems even if not diabetic.
 
8.9. last night went to bed at .9.15pm at 7.1 and thought out that's good I haven't had massive jump this evening but woke up at 11.8 at 11.30 did unit correction checked at 3.15 at I was 9 which oriaglly I was going to leave but that I could myself waking up above 10 if I did was gave myself half unit a couple of hours later I was 6.8 so increasing levimier a tad more it is.

I take daily loratadine most of the year. It has zero impact on my BG levels.
 
Morning all, 8.2 here, a bit better figure than yesterday. It’s weird, I normally get advance warning that I'm going to be ill because my blood glucose goes up 24hrs before other symptoms appear, but this time, it only shot up a day after.
 
Morning all. Overslept this morning and woke to 4.3. Rushed around getting slow cooker ready, me ready and now delaying leaving for work, so tired already!

@ColinUK I hope you feel better soon. Have you done an LFT or is it definitely a bad cold? There are some nasty bugs around atm.

I supposed it's also possible that if my issues are partly food related some food could be disgistvd later which I'll ideally be doing background tests but because I get dizzy spells at moment too I can't really not eat for extended periods of time on the contrary to that fact though eating makes me feel sick

Ib Eggyg world if you hired a car you would probably witness a car chase, have a policeman jump in the back and take off in hot persuit!

True dat!
In car news though, we got a taxi from the airport ( pre ordered). There was the driver standing holding a scrappy bit of paper with my name on. I maybe should have been worried then as all the other drivers had theirs on electronic gadgets! She was 4ft 10ins at that, I’m 5ft 2ins and towered over her. Took us to a scruffy vehicle, she looked like she’d just got out of bed, she was coughing and spluttering but did have a face mask on. She obviously couldn’t reach the clutch properly as she crunched the gears, apart from 3-4, the whole drive. Mr Eggy said she was nearly falling asleep and was sweating like mad. Glad I couldn’t see that. Anyways, we got there safely and what did I do? I gave her a tip! She’s probably given us Covid! Us British aren’t very good at complaining are we? Ah well, another tale to tell in the adaptation of the Eggyland film! :rofl:

5.7 for me today. 🙂

Bom dia everyone from beautiful Portugal. 6.2 which is a miracle after yesterday.
Eating at weird hours and with huge gaps between each of those meals. Nearly hypo twice, once on the drive to the apartment at 10.30am. Kendal Mint Cake eaten. Got to accommodation at 11.30, unpacked and went for an early lunch. Down to 4.3 just as we ordered, luckily the couvert of bread and olives came pretty sharpish, filled my boots, then chicken piri piri, chips and salad. Didn’t bolus until I finished. Did shoot up to nearly 12 but then dipped down very quickly. Just had a picky tea in the apartment, crackers and cheese, at 8pm. In bed at 9.30, we’d been up since 2.30am! Still managed to walk over five miles over the day, in the heat! More of the same weather expected today. I’ll have to be careful.

Have a great day all. I’ve speed read yesterday’s posts. Well done @MeeTooTeeTwo on your mojo and HS. So sorry to hear you’ve got the ‘rona @Robin what a nuisance. @ColinUK what have I told you about eating cheese graters! Hope your throat is better soon. Think that’s all, anyone else feeling rubbish, hope today is better for you. See you tomorrow. 🙂

Did one Saturday which was clear. I’m not going anywhere between now and Thursday but suppose I ought to do one as I was in the office yesterday.
It certainly feels like one of my colds rather than anything more.
Both mum and dad have belters of a cold which arrived the day I left them last week.
