Hi Robin ~ I'm wondering now if that's the reason why my bgls have been higher than normal lately. I recently had steroid injections in both my dodgy knees. It hadn't crossed my mind until l read your post to Tickledpinknot. So thanks for that bit of info.

Morning campers. Back in the land of the living. A nice boring 6.4. Babysitting Thursday today ( no..that’s not the baby’s name) so fun and frolics this morning, then lunch and hopefully a walk this afternoon so she can sleep but weather isn’t looking hopeful. Diana still hanging about. If not, a walk through the house! Have a great day whatever the weather. 🙂

Very likely, I would think, from what other people have reported on here from time to time.(never had steroids myself, so not experienced the full horror)
 
Good morning 🙂 Having a lot of late mornings (for me) lately, I think it's down to the gloom and grey with an element of SAD thrown in :( Onlt a few weeks until the days start getting longer though, so will look forward to that 🙂 7.4 for me today.
 
Good morning all🙂

I was well and truly stiffed by the DF last evening. Ate a dinner of spag bol, bolussed accurately. Usual evening Levemir. Trace before bed rather surprisingly showed a slight hump after dinner, then a big dip into the red, (which I hadn’t sensed) and then a lift up to 5.8. Which overnight lifted to the level representing the meal I’d eaten. Woke on 12.8. Hello Spag Bol.:D

This is sort of gastroparesis, but not really. Never happens during the day, and doesn’t often happen at night. :confused:

Anyway, the lesson is I need some kind of alarm system, so as soon as my Miaomiao arrives such events will become controllable.🙂

Bit breezy today, so be careful folks. I’m going nowhere today, 70mph winds. That’s a normal winter storm on Mull, so I’m used to it. Watch out for flying wheelie bins.🙂
 
I should add, the ‘like’ comment for your post wasn’t for the aches and pains (I know what you mean) but for your cheerful exclamation mark!

It’s a challenge I’m accepting. Cancer treatment taking priority at the moment but during the summer I had an extra week off steroids and it was easier to manage my diabetes. But tumour markers raised so, ho hum, back to two weeks treatment and one week off. Guess it’s the effect a ‘normal’ diabetic would have eating 6 bags of skittles and drinking 2l coke every day for 2 weeks then going cold turkey for a week.
 
Disappointing but predictable 15.6 this morning.
Last steroid today so hoping for lower readings soon.
Have a good day everyone xx
 
Morning friends
I really really didn't want to post this but it's an 8.6 today😱 I must say tho that I haven't a clue how those two lubbly jubbly mince pies managed to pass my lips last night!🙄 Oh shucks!
