Morning! HS today.

Well done & congrats. 🙂 A lowly 3.7 this side of the world, no signs of hypo awareness. The sun is shining in all its glory, 21.5 C doors and windows all open. Next door are out sunbathing won`t be long before joining them 🙂.

Hi Robin goat returned earlier this morning 🙂.
 
Good morning gang🙂

I woke with 7.2, (6.8 on the fingerpick) and a dead straight line overnight.

Right, that’s the diabetes sorted. Next up, CBD oil and some pain relief so that I can move around without wobbling.

A man’s work is never done:D
 
Just another quick update. Just in the door from GP appointment! Very nice lady locum with a very good bedside manner! My sinuses are bunged so, affecting ears! They’re clear with no infection! Best be given decongestant but, can’t because of blood pressure medication so, a spray to calm down the inflamed skin.

She took the time to read my notes & joked with me about my trampolining accident, asked what my BS readings were this morning & said straight away that they were very good, for me. She must have gotten my readings from the hosp. DSN team as I printout all my readings for them from mySugr app. Very pleasant & nice bedside manner!🙂

04:38 BS 8.4. A bit higher because I over & under estimated two boluses yesterday!:( Can’t always get this guessing game right!😱 Then, didn’t want to eat when I woke briefly before 22:00. Waited until 23:00& had my midnight basal of 6 units a bit early & went back to bed! I slept a lot yesterday: relieved by GP visit &, as the little stroll from the health centre downhill to the chemist showed, not completely over this cold yet!😱

VERY NAUGHTY ALERT!!!
Had 24 units Novorapid, exercises & lanb curry & rice for breakfast!😱 I know, I know, was out of casseroles, from the freezer, before my tesco delivery on Tuesday, didn’t slow cook any that day or yesterday. So, that’s all I had in the fridge this morning! The last time, a couple of days ago, I had this breakfast 20 units wasn’t enough & I was in the 12’s after. So, a bit more this time!😱

Will start the slow cooking today & tomorrow with chicken, beef & lamb casseroles, 8 servings of each & my freezer will be stocked up again!😛:D

Anyways, a very good morning to you all &, as always, carry the sunshine on the inside then, it can rain all sorts on the outside & you won’t care!:D😛😎

PS: a little grr!😡 Was kicked off just after writing this & before posting. Got back on & nothing was saved! Had to rewrite everything again!🙄

Edited to add:- Oh, I don’t think I was logged in but, didn’t realise it until I pressed the reply button. Then, was kicked off & nothing was saved. This has happened a lot in recent days. It looks as if I’m logged on as it says Lanny at the top right of the page instead of Log in but, I’m not & only find out when I try to post!

@Lanny , Oh that’s so annoying when that that happens, perhaps let Northener know if it hapoen# again.
 
Good morning campers . Hope you all h@ve a good day.
I am still managing to fight off whatever it is that’s trying to nab me, though it does manage to snuggle up close and keep me warm during the night, for some reason it tries to flee when I’ve had brekkie but continues to play happily with my BGs then it’s back like a bad penny when I slip under the covers.

Woke up earlier to to 7.8, it’s gone down a tad now

Oops! Sorry to take this off topic but tried to post this in conversation to @Northerner three times & it won’t let me.:(

I use mainly the iPad mini 4 on ios 11.4.1. Had to check that in the settings & see that there’s a new update to ios 12 has just become availabe. So, will update to that & hopefully that’ll sort things out!

I always have the stay logged in button ticked. My iPad FOES automatically update, at some point, but, there’s abit of a lagg depending on battery power: at least 50%. My battery power is currently less than that so, will plug in & update.

Will let you know if there are any problems after!

Thanks

Lanny
 
Morning all, 5.9 here. Dropping half a unit of basal last night seems to have got me out of the low fours.
Off for a flu jab this morning. Our surgery operates a turn up and wait system on selected dates, seems to work usually, but what's the betting there's a queue today, because I'm going out straight afterwards.
 
Morning campers. A nice, back to my usual, 5.7, had a 4.3 before bed last night. Monday’s exercise kicking in perhaps? Had a slice of toast and all was well. Quiet day at home today, dog sitting over the weekend and she is coming later today. So Vizla proofing the house! :D
 
Morning all.🙂 3.7 for me.

It’s gorrillas in the mist here, but sunshine on its way apparently. :D

What’s “Vizla-proofing” @eggyg?

We are looking after our eldest daughter’s Hungarian Vizla dog this weekend. They are very big and bouncy and excitable, so need to move things! :D
 
Good morning 4.7 today, just finished all the washing and dried the lot. 🙂 Start the HOPE program this afternoon I will report back and let you know how it went. Sun is shining 22.C at the moment 🙂.

Have a good day all.
 
Whizzed into the surgery, waltzed straight in to see nurse, checked I was getting the quadrivalent ( nurse. 'you've been reading up on this, haven't you!') jabbed and out again in about thirty seconds flat. Now on a coach to London!
 
Good morning all🙂

I woke up in the night for bladder emptying, so did a quick read of my BG. 2.5. Couple of JBs and back to bed. Woke up on 4.8, dead straight line after the dip.

More importantly, for some reason I’m not as stiff this morning. Got out of bed without holding on the handrail. Triumph:D
 
Hi all! 5.3 this morning.

Had the 6 month post-DX review today. My HbA1c estimate of 5.8% / 40 was spot-on and doc & nurse awarded me a gold star.

They were interested in comments about the Newcastle stuff and agreed there's no reason why I shouldn't lose another 5 kg or so to get BMI down to 21 to see how that works. Roy Taylor's notes for GP's recommend a "low normal" BMI target for normal-ish-weight T2's, so maybe I can beat the DF into granting remission or reversal or whatever you want to call it, without very much effort. Worth a shot!

Staying on Metformin, statin, BP meds for the moment.

Maybe because it wasn’t as cold through the night? 16 degrees up here last night, window flung open and covers off! 🙂
