A 5.3 for me this morning. 🙂

Oh, thank you for asking after me. I genuinely feel really touched that you noticed I wasn't around.Good Morning forum friends 5.5 today
Update on my foot, yesterday afternoon I did got seen at the foot clinic (within the hospital) which was a relief, although they weren’t 100% happy with what Mrs @goodybags had done (to look after my toe over the weekend) the Podiatrist kind of said she understood under the circumstances why we did what we did, and it’s not infected anyway which is a relief, obviously they dressed it, showed me how to look after it and gave me the needed dressings and an offloading shoe again
so will be attempting to take things slightly easier, whilst toe recovers (silvernitrate dressing this time rather than inadine, I'm told this should aid fast healing) 🙄
I had also noticed as @PattiEvans mentioned yesterday that @Martin.A hadn't been on since the middle of last week also @BobbleHat has been absent a few weeks hope they are both well
Have a Terrific Tuesday everyone 😎
Update, the amount of oats was 1 1/4 cups, and the spike was 14.7 from a base of 7.7. Next time (in about 2 months) I'll measure the oats properly. TIR is 87%.6.9 this morning when I first woke to take my basal. This morning was/is an experiment as what is the ideal (BG). An amount of milky porridge to avoid an alarming spi (+20); it has been reduced by half a bowl to less than half a small bowl, if that makes any sense?
Hope you have a good day whatever you get up to. We might get the tree assembled.
hope your DSN is supportive of you when you meet/speak on Monday - I took a interest in what you posted as sometimes I think we just know what’s right for us,5.3 this morning for me.
My head is still floating around about my diabetes classification and treatment. I’m not going to entertain coming off insulin onto Metformin and Dapagliflozin as before on Metformin my HbA1c doubled, I accept the Dapagliflozin would reduce the highs to prevent this, but then I’m guessing I would end up with little glucose “fueling” me and maybe then down the route of fat metabolism with resulting ketones? That’s one of the questions for my DSN on Monday.
Sorry everyone for my whinging, please know that being able to write this on here is a big help to my mental health. You folks are brilliant!
@eggyg - sending prayers, positive thoughts and hugs to you all. You must all be going through it at the moment and with Christmas on top of it all you must be running at 100mph and not know which way is up.
Take care everyone and for those working, you’re almost there!
Thank you so much for this. I agree with you, after a while we all get to know our own bodies and how they respond. It does make me wonder if there is a push to get people off insulin, which I assume is more expensive than the various oral meds? Hopefully it will go well for me on Monday and I can keep insulin and the CGM regardless of how I am classified. I do hope the same goes for you too!hope your DSN is supportive of you when you meet/speak on Monday - I took a interest in what you posted as sometimes I think we just know what’s right for us,
my GP & DSN were trying to get me off insulin, in my case ok I needed a reduction in the amount of insulin (I realised that and through using CGM) which incidentally i had previously been denied on prescription
But was in the end successful in obtaining but the Diabetic Consultant (endocrinologist) at the hospital agreed with me (at least until I see him next then we will review it again)
My dad used to have a saying “if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it”
hope it all works out for you @Eternal422
