Pleased I didn't get an HS today now. I feel claustrophobic just looking at that picture!!

Good morning everyone. First up?
BG 5.3 so close
Pulse 51
BP 120/73
A good day yesterday. My wife was happy and relaxed.
Today she has invited my friend round for tea. This is another big step for her.
I have a few more church songs to convert, shouldn't take long
Have a great day today whatever you are doing

7.8 for me today!
Typically the one morning I needed to get up is the one I was actually still asleep for the alarm going off. Been early to sleep and up early all week.
Son is off on a work trip soon and wanted to be up to nag him about phone chargers and to say goodbye 😉
Hope you all have a great day!

A very early good morning. Been awake since 4.15, up since 5! Score on the door, 6.4.
The day has arrived for our adventure to Blackpool. Two decrepit 63 year olds, a ten year old going on 18, a sweet, but shy five year old and a 2.5 year old recently potty trained toddler! We must be bonkers! Train not until 1.30, can’t check in to hotel until 3 and didn’t feel like wandering the streets with the luggage. Could not get a taxi to fit us all in to take us to the station, so my eldest son in law is going to take us in two trips, bless him. Weather changeable, rain all day today, sometimes heavy. Tomorrow dry with sunny intervals, which is good as that’s the day we are going to the Pleasure Beach. Wednesday good too but we’re getting the train at 2.30, but we’ll make the most of the morning. We can leave our luggage in the hotel and the train station is less than five minutes walk away. A fun filled three days ahead. I’ll try and pop on here if I can, so don’t worry if I don’t, I’ll be alive, barely.😉
Congratulations to the plethora of HSers yesterday. That 5.2 step must have been groaning!
Have a Happy Monday.

Good morning? Well no Triple-HS for me today. A disappointing 8.3 even though I tried to do a repeat of Friday evening. The previous two nights my BG dropped through the night 
Last night hovered around 8!
Podiatry this morning so getting ready for transport. Fingers crossed on time.
Grey, mizzle with a breeze!

There seems to have been a spate of 5.2's. Congratulations all. 6.1 on this dull, wet day.

Was 4.x when I woke up this morning and 5.7 now so we can probably average that out at 5.2.
Had a dog move in yesterday, unexpectedly. My sisters dog for 2 weeks. She seems to be settling in okay, she’s not used to there being noises upstairs as doesn’t normally live in a flat but that’s about the only issue so far. I’ll work from home instead of the office to keep an eye on her so hopefully she behaves.

I feel the same 8.7 thought must be this machine tried other hand 8.9.
Feeling rather down.
Also gained 1lb so that's another warning. 1 toasted tea cake aint worth it.

07:12 BS 4.3 Some scrambling, horizontal in bed, necessary with oatcakes & JB’s! 😱
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! CAN JUST about manage my usual 😉 this morning after a couple of hours sleep!
Yesterday went ok until just before 19:00 when I had dinner & put in 48 NR into my left arm. Then, things started to go wrong! At first I was slow to notice as my BS fluctuated a bit, it ALWAYS does that, staying mostly the same until hour 4 in the 13’s so, I thought portion size was too big. But, then, it rose to 17, 18, 19 & 20 pretty fast, from about 23:20 to 23:50, & I had to think fast about what to do? I tried half an oatcake & guessed 24 NR but, after the initial drop from 19’s when I put it in to 17’s it fluctuated back up to 19’s/20’s pretty fast. My stomach was pretty empty so, after some more quick thinking I thought I need more food to get the insulin to work! So, I had half of the last remaining shepherds pie & put in 48: had dithered between 52, 54, 56 NR; but, last minute rethink just as I started to eat I went with 48 because I FINALLY remembered the 24 that I’d already put in for the half oatcake!
Then, with a breather from all the quick thinking I looked back over my logs since 19:00 & realised, bearing in mind the slight fluctuations I always have that my BS basically just kept rising like I hadn’t injected NR at all! And I was seriously doubting myself there: past 01:00 & exhausted I couldn’t really remember IF I had injected; was stressing, wondering until past 04:30 when I noticed, thinking too much before then, a big swollen lump on my left arm where I’d injected NR around 19:00! SO OOH I definitely DID inject & I realised, belatedly, that the first sensor had been in roughly THAT spot: did it have something to do with the swelling & slowed down the insulin?
I finally went to bed about 05:00 & woke in the 4’s! After I got my BS out of the 4’s, all while still horizontal in bed, & had 1.5 oatcakes in the 7’s I felt my arm. The swelling had gone down a lot while I’d slept when my BS had gone down steadily from 17’s to 6’s around 04:30 when I last checked before dropping! So, THAT question was answered!
The swelling is very slight now but, not completely gone so, I’ll have to keep a closer on things today in case of drops from THAT insulin that I’m absorbing now!
BS still in the 7’s & had a bit of a pause there as Tesco shopping came & went with it all put away. I’m about to have my weekly shopping sushi & 09:15 BS 8.9, after all the effort of putting away shopping, & dithering about NR? I would put in 48 but, go with a compromised 44 with JB’s to hand in case & see?
