Nice work ladies, what did we do with our spare time before all this testing.....🙄

I'm sure I was bored. Now I have purpose!😉

 

[Bloden]

The job is going well, interesting stuff so that's nice and they don't seem to be thrown by my interesting dress sense so that's a refreshing change (it's not actually that interesting but where I worked before they were a bit conservative). Blood sugar behaves and my brain seems to still work so that's good too!

5.1 this morning btw 🙂

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that I'm still here, sometimes I log in & sometimes I don't but I do have a look at the forum most days & sometimes probably several times a day.

I'm still having a diabetic burnout & have been for the last few weeks ever since I went for my diabetic review following my diabetic bloods in November

I'm slipping with:
- bedtime testing - finding it's far too easy to say oh well I can't be bothered
- fasting or waking testing - too easy to wake up get up & not to test until breakfast time which is usually mid morning about 10am - 11am ish
- finding it far too easy to have the odd snack here & there during the evening without blousing! - last night I was munching away on popcorn the sweet one

When I look at my meter (the accu-chek expert) & look at the reports then targets
last 14 days - overall - above = 73%
within = 27%
so that shows how bad things are at the moment

If anyone would like to help or encourage me this would be great - tia

Still having the burnout & slipping with the same things but also started with a headcold a week ago which has really messed my BGs up for me 😡

Targets now are
last 14 days - overall - above = 93%
within = 5%

How do I get back to normal please?

Just go back to the beginning and take baby steps, keep testing but only try to sort one thing out at a time. If you try to change everything all at once you will just get confused. Start posting your readings again if it will help, someone will give you advice. Good luck 🙂

Hey Gill
Was wondering how you've been doing. Sorry you're having a hard time but it's good to see that all that work you did on your basal dose seems to have worked, you seem quite stable from bedtime to breakfast. That's really good given how much hard work you put in 🙂. Maybe you could review one mealtime ratio at a time, I always find that easier, so focus on thing and get it right. Those higher sugars are bound to be making you feel a bit bleurgh so I hope you feel a bit better soon. If all else fails I bribe myself with the promise of a treat if I sort one thing out, like a manicure, or nail polish or something I really fancy....I'm easily bought though so maybe that's just me 🙂

Morning 5.2 today, bit of a hypo last night and some lows before dinner happening again but then it is four weeks since I reduced the Lantus, so it'll want reducing again soon 🙄

 

[Lindarose]

Good morning 6.2 here 🙂 Hope your readings stay up there today Kooky

Good morning 🙂 9.8 for me today, I think I have over basal tweaked and need to increase it a little bit.
