A 6.8 for me this very chilly morning. I should be having cataract surgery this morning but have had to cancel due to this bad chest infection 🙄

You did the right thing Amigo. I hope you soon feel better and that your chest infection clears up well in time for Christmas. Take care x

9.7 this morning, but I am not in a good place with either my eating or well being. I have let myself down in a big way and am really struggling to get back on course. I won't go to the DN as I know my HBA1C will have gone up and I have let her down. I have started to get anxiety attacks again which I have not had for years, I suspect these are due to the high blood sugar levels. Currently feeling like I want to spend all day everyday in bed, however do get up, am managing to carry on with life though, just eating too many carbs for months and lots of sugars over the last month. I need to snap out of this malaise that I am feeling.

OK Lorraine, please stop thinking you have let people down, including yourself {{{HUGS}}}} It's perfectly normal to suffer low periods like this, but you have recognised it, you are doing your best to get through it without totally giving in to it, and hopefully you will begin to get back on course again before too long. When you are feeling down like this it's important not to become overwhelmed by it all, so just take those baby steps - little substitutions, a bit more activity, day by day - small, achievable goals 🙂 You know that you have our full support always, because we know how hard it can be sometimes {{{{more HUGS}}}}

One day at a time, or even less than a day at a time. I agree with northie and even sharing how you are feeling is positive steps. If DN is good, she will not judge you but offer you help and coping strategies. Take care and keep sharing {hugs} Carol

Good morning swarm🙂

I’m back to boring normal. But it isn’t fair. Woke up with 5.1. By the time I got vertical, 5.3 was the report.:(

Sometimes you just can’t win:D

Anyway, it’s a lovely bright winters day, chilly and clear. I’m going to be busy. Interviewing a new cleaner this morning. And sometime today, my smartwatch arrives, so I’ll be exercising my 65 year old brain setting up the Miaomiao. Can’t be that hard, if I could make a lifting bridge with Meccano Set 10, this should be a cakewalk. 🙄

Have a good day everyone. In a couple of weeks the days will be getting longer, so you’ll have more daylight hours to dig the car out of the snow.🙂

Course, Eggy will have to find it first. One of the disadvantages of a white car:D

It isn’t very white at the moment, been down ont’ farm and will be back in the next few days so won’t be getting washed this week. This is it back in February when we had the big snowfalls. Luckily the tyres are black so we found it ok! :D

Lorraine please don’t feel bad about going to your DSN, it might not be as bad as you think, and if it is well so what? Tomorrow is another day, babysteps @Grannylorraine, just take each day or as @Carolg said even part of a day. This cold, wet and windy weather doesn’t help, it’s hard to get out to walk, run, swim. Can you buddy up with someone to encourage you to get out even it’s just a short walk around the block or a trip into town? Buy yourself a new cookbook about low carb cooking, have you got or seen Tom Kerridge's one? I love a new cookbook and quite often spurs me on to try different things. I know you are a brilliant baker, he does do cakes and puddings. Please don’t feel,you have let yourself down, we all have bad times and it’s pants at times. Go to your DSN, if she is a good nurse she won’t tell you off but hopefully can suggest other things to help. Take care. Elaine.
 
My Codefree has arrived so I’ll be back to testing in the morning. Had a bad couple of days, there were mince pies in the house. As in, there were mince pies, but there’s no longer any mince pies at all 😳😳😳
 
Grannylorraine, I am sorry to read you are feeling so down. I hope it lifts soon.

You have errr .... removed the temptation 🙄:D
 
Good morning folks.
5.1 with a rather nice flatfish.
 
Good morning 🙂 7.9 for me today - not really surprising after having a 3.0 hypo last night which refused to come up despite eating EVERYTHING!!! 😱 I knew it would be an over treatment, but when the meter isn't changing you just have to continue 🙄
 
Morning all. 🙂 6.3 here.😛

Managed to “uplift” (it’s a carpet-laying term, apparently) the carpet yesterday before Monday’s big upstairs carpet-fit. I even cut it all up to cart off to the tip today - I love a bit of destruction!:D

Sending great big (((({HUGS})))) @Grannylorraine.
 
13.3 this morning, but but misjudged amount I made for tea, and was hungry later. Nurse has increased insulin to 10 units twice daily and pleased with reduction in BG so far and pleased with how I am coping.
Have a good day all
 
Morning everyone, it's a 5.1 for me.

I hope you're all doing as well as possible 🙂. I've been kicked hard by diabetes complications causing me frightening problems and it's been a real battle.

Ho hum or should that be the more seasonal Ho Ho, back to plodding on..🙂

{{{HUGS}}}} @Flower 🙂 Sorry to hear that you are having so much to deal with, I'm hoping for a much better and totally uneventful 2019 for you - except the good things, of course! 🙂
