Thanks for your support northie. Not so much back on track, northie. One med stopped, different med started. Keeping diary and BG record and see dietitian on 12th. Trying this tablet and last thing As far as I understand before insulin or injectables. As earlier posted, pharmacy have said about a month to show effect. This is week 3. Nurse will call at about a month to see how I am doing.

Doesn't look like it's being very effective, unfortunately :(

Nope, and I’m now pretty fed up but agreed that it was right to explore every avenue before insulin
 
06:53 BS 7.7. Had 16 units, cautious reduction, exercises & breakfast. Had an all green within target ranges day yesterday!:D AND I reduced both my lunch & dinner Novorapid to 8 units: my doses before this cold hit me! Yippee!😛:D

Now if my morning figures start coming down & I can reduce breakfast dose back to 12 units pre cold will be my next target!🙄

After that I will work on getting my doses back to 6, 4 & 4 pre injury!😱🙄 Positive mental attitude!:D "To infinity & beyond!"

A very good morning to you all & carry the sunshine on the inside!😛:D😎
 
Morning all, a 9.3 for me today and my legs ache! I think doing 2 bridges challenges in the space of 3 weeks covering 26 miles and 28 bridges is pushing it! Will i do it next year.......probably! :D
 
*08:44 BS 10.6 after breakfast. Ok, ish, just over 1mmol higher than target range, 9.5. So, will maybe try 16 units again tomorrow morning!🙄

Edited to correct the time! * Oops!😳 HOW did that one escape me?😱:D

Good morning to all in the diabetes asylum🙂

Still recovering from the weekend - fell asleep in the chair last evening, shot off a post to a terrified newbie, went to bed on 9.2, and woke up 6.3. Good enough for me.🙂

It’s a beautiful morning, not a cloud in the sky, which is good because I have to cruise up the shop to get some milk. If I don’t, the hairdresser who is arriving at 10, won’t get her cappuccino.

All that sleep, by the way, plus CBD before bed meant that I didn’t have to spend any time straightening out my left leg. So, back to normal for me. That’s a low bar, mind:D

Same here, lovely morning 🙂 It's bloody cold though! 😱
 
Morning all on this, the first day of Autumn, well it is for me. Sunny and cold just how I like it. Went to bed on a very respectable 6.7, woke to a 5.7. Result! Now can I do the same today? Still dog sitting, family back today. She has been, mostly, as good as gold, little accident in the hall through the night, luckily it’s tiled! But it’s like the grandkids, will be glad when she is gone. Dogs are smelly creatures aren’t they? So the Febreze is just waiting ready for action! 🙂
 
Good morning 4.6 on this glorious day 🙂. Had a hypo at 03:40 BGL 2.9 three gluco tabs two rich tea biscuits quickly sorted it out, temp 20.5 C.

Well done @Stitch147 great effort.

Have a good day all.

Looks like you need a reduction in your insulin doses Ted 🙂

I`ve reduced it quite a bit over the last week Alan, I went to bed on a 9.7. If I reduce it anymore I won`t be needing a night time injection :confused:.

I reached a point like that - I kept reducing my nighttime/basal insulin injection, going down from 20 units, eventually to 2 units but I was still waking in the low 4s, so tried it without. That was 6 years ago! 😱 I still need insulin with my meals, but overnight I don't actually need anything. I've come across maybe half a dozen others on the forum over the years who have been the same 🙂

I'd certainly discuss it with your nurse/doctor 🙂
 
Hello all, I'm still in double figures and only have till 7th November review to pull it back. :(

Hi @Ditto, good to hear from you 🙂 Do you have a plan to try and improve things? What do you think are your main pitfalls? Get writing that food diary and look for places you can improve things 🙂 Let us know if we can help in any way 🙂 If you make a start now it will really help towards your November review as the HbA1c test is weighted towards the latter few weeks of the 6-12 week period it measures 🙂
