Alcohol occupies the liver so it's not producing as much glucose overnight - especially important to remember this when you are on insulin as levels can drop much lower than normal after a session 😱 🙂 Hope the head is OK today Vince! 🙂

I learnt that the hard way one year when staying over Christmas with my brother! I didn’t want a drink but, he urged me to! I knew alcohol lowered BS so, chose a baileys because of the sugar! I was hungry the whole night as my BS kept dropping & my brother woke up at lunchtime on Boxing Day to find all of his biscuits & snacks munched by me! He never urged me to drink again! :D
 
Morning all! It's a 6.1 from me.🙂

@Jeandp Hi jean, i do eat in the mornings but not until i get to work.I am on basal and bolus just can't seem to get it under control! 2 hypo's yesterday - one before lunch and one before dinner - and I woke up to 11.2 this morning.

Hi Emma, I don't know anything about basal and bolus other than Type 1's use them. 11.2 is high, do you know why? Do you have an infection? or a lot of stress? Are you eating low carb and exercising? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to help x
 
Morning all. 7.5 for me. Started a food diary with BG results that I can take to nurse on Thursday Lovely sunny day here.
Birds have found the bird bath and squaking indignantly as I moved bird feeder and yesterday they scoffed 3 feeders full of food. I think they are giving me a message.
 
Morning folks
Bright start to the day (not me, after the neighbours were out most of the night, kids at age 5 and under still out there at 11pm!!! 😱)
A 5.7 for me today
Hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are doing! :D (football on the TV for me, I'm afraid I cant wait till the day is over to hopefully hear less about the Royal wedding!!) xx
 
12.8 - which is c**p. But then again my diabetes in general is c**p right now - my brain can’t figure out patterns and I need to wait until Tuesday to see diabetes team...
Sooo tired and just want my levels in single figures!

Sorry that’s a bit moany... I’ve been up since 4 and really want a lie in!
 
Oh, dear, don’t get annoyed with me, @Kaylz! Thanks for the heads up about the Royal Wedding!

I haven’t been watching much TV for a few years & tend to only watch the food network or the quiz shows on challenge when I do!

I forgot when the wedding date is & wanted to watch it! I’d be annoyed if I missed it!
 
Morning...the sun is shining so a beautiful day...waiting for the news...doubt we'll have any 'real news' until after the weekend...no...wait possibly not then either...we'll have the honeymoon to hear about...ooh if only they'd eloped I'd have a bit more respect...despite the irritation woke to a 5.6.

Hope the clinic appointment provides some helpful suggestions.
