Morning all and 4.4 for me.

Cracking gig in Leeds last night. Very near a sell out. Spear of Destiny were pretty damn good. Only slight downside was our dressing room which comfortably accommodated the entire band as long as we stood up.

Doing it again tonight in Newcastle.

Have a good day everyone.
 
A 5.4 for me earlier this grey morning.

Have a good day folks and stay safe.
 
Afternoon. ,7.0 for me this morning.Sitting in tea room garden with a coffee.Suns out and I'm starting to burn .. Looking at these black clouds heading over might just sit out in it .All these folks eating will be making a dash for shelter .Well done @ Colin UK hope your other tests come back good . Enjoy your day people
 
Afternoon all. Light overcast with sunny patches. Starting on Sat it's supposed to be sunny all day with highs of 19deg.

5.1 this morning, but it might not count as I had already been up to the bathroom and had sat in the bed with a cuppa reading the forum before I remembered to check.

Went to see the vampire this morning for diabetic bloods and foot tickling. Feet are fine, BP was 128/82 which is great for me! Plus the lovely R got blood out of me with no hassle at all. If only I could see her every time! Libre predicts Hba1c of 48... we know that's on the optimistic side... we shall see!

Came home via shopping at Lidl where we bought all manner of things not on the list... all food/cleaning items thankfully and no tat from the middle aisles.

We are going to dinner at our lovely neighbours this evening. We always have a laugh with her.

@ColinUK congratulations on your excellent Hba1c!

@Bloden, hope you get to change your insulin, but I am convinced it's the Libre 5 that is mainly to blame. I have had problems with it ever since I started on it and I am on Apidra which is much faster than Novorapid. The problems continue even when I changed to manual. I think the algorhythms are very badly written and I cannot understand why, when calculating corrections, it counts your hourly basal as IOB. Surely basal is basal just meant to keep you level and should not be counted as bolus to reduce your level. I shall be very glad to ditch it next Weds when I go onto the Ypsopump with CamAPS. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what happens with your change of insulin.

Hope everyone is having a happy Thursday...

late again been out most of the day chippy lunch and another tip run, not very exciting, BS was 7.4 again higher than normal so ive increased my Basel up to 24 units and see how I go, I thought most people need less in the warmer months maybe its the other way round anyway
 
Late checking in today BUT, I remembered to, just now, while I’m sat down after a VERY late breakfast! :D

10:51 BS 9.1. So so but, not TOO bad.

A Very G’Day Mates to you all & hope you’re having a Wonderful Day? 😉

Yesterday proved to be a borderline inconclusive day in terms of reducing basal as BS stopped dropping just shy of the 6 hours after eating mark: it could be a teeny, maybe 2NR, too much; adjusted to a teeny bit less NR & got a bit higher readings? Hence the higher BS during the night & waking this morning! Soooh, if I keep to the slight -2NR for meals for longer BS might settle back to normal range? Try it for a bit longer to see before I reduce basal UNLESS, of course, I start going hypo all over the place? :confused:

LOVED last night’s series 5 of Race Across The World & I’m guessing that checkpoint 2 looks like it’s Hong Kong from the map? :confused:

I’m well impressed by the younger sister Leticia, of the pair of sisters team, speaking pretty good, despite what SHE said herself, Mandarin & she was only in China previously for 6 months & her pronunciations are so good 😱: the tones can be hard to get exactly right; when slowly absorbing Mandarin as I have been recently watching a lot of cdrama, I found that it affected my speaking tones of Hakka & Cantonese, that I already know, as well for a while until I adjusted! o_O
 
6.1 this a.m. and didn't laze in bed for too long as we had our first appointment just after brekkas. Closely followed be three people knocking at the door, followed by a surprise visit from my new support worker, who was very nice beit a little young.. Then an appointment just after lunch followed by two more folk banging a tattoo on the door.
We then went out for Js birthday to an Italian in Lancaster - nice but nothing too spectacular, pretty reasonable too.

Home now and Js kipping and I'm half watching the snooker. Hope we aren't to inundated tomorrow.
 
Very late posting for me.
6.4 for me this AM, which I'm very pleased with. I was catering for 4 teenage boys last night at a sleepover. I provided them with a very large amount of pizza. I was too tired to create something more suitable for me so I ended up eating pizza for tea too. My first time having 'normal' pizza (rather than fathead dough) since diagnosis (and I didn’t have a small portion!) I only went up to 7.4 at 2 hours post meal which was good (but also bad as I don’t want to feel like I 'got away' with it). It might be that I went high earlier than 2 hours as seems to happen when I eat anything with wheat. Anyway, under those circumstances, I'm pleased with 6.4 this morning.

One more day of work until I have annual leave for my birthday week.

Sleep well everyone!
