Hi all
3.7 this morning at 07:20 when the Libre alarm woke me ahead of the proper alarm at 7:30. This sensor only came online in the wee small hours as I only applied it at bedtime having forgotten that my change day had moved forward by 2 days due to a sensor finishing early. Blood test said 4.1.
Late posting as I had a diabetes annual review with the consultant at 10:50 at the county hospital. The drive is actually only 30 mins but you have to allow an hour as traffic can be dire. Made it in 31 minutes this morning and sat in the car park for half an hour - thank goodness the diabetes centre has it's own free car park!
It was the first time I met with this new consultant and he's very nice, a different kettle of fish from "Mr Pompous who only believes in Hba1cs rather than Libre records". Long and short of it, apparently my control is excellent and I should stop beating myself up about blips. I have to say there are people on this forum who beat me into a cocked hat, but perhaps compared with the people they see at the clinic then my control may be very good. So I went away with a gold star and came home and cooked a full meal as we were both starving by then (1pm). Off out tonight to see a favourite swing band and therefore won't be having more than a snack later.
Congratulations to @Gwynn and @MeeTooTeeTwo on the HS.
@Kaylz just hugs, hope things improve for you soon.
@eggyg are you sure they were security people? Never seen security on my way out of an airport after a flight, but customs can be evil and really do have fun tossing people's suitcases into complete disarray. I even caught one sniffing my underwear once - but that was in a 3rd world country. I remember another time they were having an argument with the woman in front of me about how much her tennis balls cost and all I could think was "blooming hurry up" as my smuggled highly dutiable tin of caviar was sliding down the inside of my tights. Fortunately I got away before it slid into sight below my skirt hem.
