Thats just reminded me, thank you. Since i've been finger pricking a lot more since Sunday due to dodgy sensor, i've been meaning to change the lancet as my fingers were sore.

Abbott has agreed to replace the current sensor as it reads 3-4 higher than a finger prick. I had to go through a lot more questions than i have before though (although i don't have to replace very often). This time, as well as the usual questions, they wanted the model number of the libre 2 meter i use and the batch number of the test strips.q

If you need to report another one try using the on-line reporting they have on the Abbott website , I did report a suspected dodgy one that way recently, and Abbott simply emailed me saying they would replace it FOC.
the online form does need quite a few details, but might be easier than phoning them I think

I have reported some online and it is easier but i needed to report the differences between sensor readings and finger pricks as they were too far apart. I didn't think i could do that online. I'll have a look if it happens another time.
 
Congratulations @Pam123 on your HS today!
 
3.8 for me, before dropping further; soon rectified though and it shot skywards; I guess I had too many JBs!

Very tense to this morning, so much so that I couldn't play pool properly (stiff neck). A twenty-minute walk put pay to that.
 
Good morning/moaning! Woken by. dreadful phantom pain - it feels like the shin bone and ankle bone are shattered! An awful dark lonely place to be. Oh, as bad BG 4.7.

Not the prep I need for this morning's physiotherapy.

Can see s fee stars. Maybe it will not rain for a change.

Update -:mid cuppa had a HS but it moved to 5.3 as I tried to snapshot it.

I'm sorry to hear about the awful phantom pain this morning. I hope transport to physio is straightforward today.

5.8 for me - rising to 6.1 with FOTF.

Penultimate shift in my current job. We're a mostly part time staff so it's already been a week of goodbyes with my current colleagues. I won't miss my hour plus commute but I will miss my work friends very much.

Been to Death Vally, Joshua Tree and Bryce Canyon - all beautiful and well worth visiting. Whilst going to Bryce it would be good to include going to Arches as well - another beautiful place and not a million miles from Bryce Canyon. Enjoy!

There’s tonnes to see/do in that corner of the US. I’m even tempted to go to Lake Havasu and see London Bridge
 
5.4 and it’s Rosh Hashona today (well it’s the first day anyway). That’s Jewish new year so I’m seeing family later. Food will be consumed.
 
Morning a 6.3 for me and my alarm went off at about midnight at 4.5 so took some glucose tablets and a small biscuit and that kept me in range for rest of night.Fine apart from really wanting to clean my teeth again but don’t want to disturb “ bedfellows” well wife in the bed and dogs beside the bed.
Nice day yesterday and back to Chester today and a trip to the Wirral.
Enjoy your day
 
Bora da. 4.3! I’ve skimmed the bottom line all night. Definitely exercise induced.

Lovely day yesterday, short sleeve order at times.. We walked from the NT car park at Aberglaslyn and walked to Beddgelert along the gorge. It was quite tricky at times, definitely not an accessible route! The old lady walking poles had to make an appearance. Very narrow paths at times along the edge. Beautiful though. Had a cuppa and a cake in a lovely cafe, had a wander around the village and walked back the way we came. It seemed harder on the way back! Only four miles walked but a tough four miles. Home for 5.30. Neither of us was hungry even by 7.30, but my BGs were in the fours, we had a picky tea. Cheese and biscuits and Mr Eggy had the stinkiest Camembert ever. I couldn’t face it! Still low at bed time so nibbled an oatie biscuit and a bit of Kendal Mint cake. Did t work.

Today we’re off to Anglesey, to hopefully see the Risso’s dolphins at Point Lynas, then if we’ve got time go to Plas Newydd. I’ve got a free NT pass. Not too much walking today.

Photos today include.
The Abergaslyn Gorge and it’s path.
The Mountain Railway and a train!

Morning all. A good nights sleep was had last night as i took my sensor off in disgust. No alarms, no worrying about lying on it. A new one has now been applied ready for activation tonight. Finger prick shows 4.3 so i'd better get something to eat soon.

@ColinUK any specific sort of food?

@eggyg the path looks perilous! Looks lovely though.

4.7 for me.

Have now booked Hba1c for November , am preparing for the usual 'reduction of Metformin ' discussion. I also wonder if my teeny edible transgressions will come back to bite me?

Wishing everyone a lovely day.
 
Good morning everyone. Up late at 7am and immediately had to put the bins out (they reportedly empty them from 7am)

BG 5.3

Yesterday was ok sort of. Went to the church to fix some wiring to the electronic drums and informed everyone of the changes. Quick as a flash the Pastor replied saying he had just ordered some accoustic drums (to replace the electronic ones. He prefers accoustic). My time wasted. Communication just doesn't work sometimes.

Just spent a while cutting my nails on my feet. I have to use some tough but fine cutters (wire cutters) as nothing else works. I hate cutting my nails. I dare not ask the NHS to help as they did my mothers once and left her unable to walk the pain was that bad (they had cut them way too short).

Reminds me of a joke: If you're short of iron, then try biting your nails!

Which reminds me, I must go pick up my meds today.

Today not much happening. A walk.
 
A 6.2 for me today. 🙂

Morning all - 6.7 for this morning. Had a really early night last night (9.45pm) which is unheard of for me but I think was just what I needed. I must try it more often! Gardening this morning and it's a beautiful sunny (but crisp) day in Cumbria. @eggyg very glad to see you weren't washed off that path as that river looks wild (but gorgeous!) - hope you get to see the dolphins - we've seen Risso's a few times in Harris x
