Well, you have remained fairly steady overnight, which is good. Why did you miss out your injection?

I was meaning to go straight after my meal which is when I prefer to inject when I'm eating out in case of any meal delays but obviously was chatting to the friends and walked out of the restaurant & realised later (bedtime) that I hadn't injected.

Done it myself Gill - you get so used to doing it that it doesn't register sometimes, which is why they started putting timers on pens for when we can't remember if we've done it or not! 🙂

All sky high had flu since Thurs, mainly 8+ blahhhh

Sorry to hear this Ant, I wonder if you have the same as I had a couple of weeks ago? Haven't been that poorly for years :(

Hope you are feeling better soon. Are you testing for ketones and increasing your insulin to help keep your levels down?

I think you passed it to me via virtual coffing!! 😉

I have no way to test for ketones my meter just flashes with ketones readings higher than 15.0+ but that is it..i have increased insulin by quite a bit so fingers crossed alan.

14.9 this morning 🙂

Hope you feel better soon steff 🙂

You need to ask your doctor for some ketone testing strips. Obviously, they will only agree to the inferior urine strips as blood ketone strips are much more expensive, but at least it would be better than nothing. 🙂

Looks like my gift to you has been passed on to Steff via your virtual coughing! 😉
 
Good morning 12.3 for me. Although high it is the first time in ages that I've had two consecutive days that have been similar. It will be interesting to see what happens as this consistency coincides with me being gluten free since Friday. I've increased my basal from 70% to 80%

Thank you Northerner🙂
 
Morning all a slightly low 4.1 for me today.
Steff / ant / Alan - is there a bug going around ?? My husband went out yesterday for about 3 hours and came back with cold like symptoms (runny nose, cough, etc). Hope you all feel better soon ! 🙂
