KARNAK said:
Good morning 3.2 low again, :( never mind keep at it.🙄

Welcome to the forum @Brian 110 🙂, wow not a nice number. We need a bit more info please, what medication you are on including insulin type and how often you take it. Also are you on a specific diet and do you count the carbs?

Well caught @Carolg always keep hypo treatment with you, glad you're ok now. 🙂

Have a good day folks. 🙂

Hi Ted And Brian Just a bit of personal info. I only have had insulin since early December. BG levels have come down well, but insulin still needing tweaked. Saw dietician in Oct/Nov and she was happy with food diary but weight (under) was an issue. Since going on mixed insulin I. was never requested to carb count, at certain level, but given advice about food groups, but I am still aware of what I am eating and book Carbs and calories is a bit of a bible, and test more than told to. Must be doing something right as put on almost a stone, but not wanting much more.

Brian did you get advice about your diet? It’s a big change to go through, so keep asking question and for advice from health care team as well. Good luck
 
Brilliant Carol, I have been watching your figures with gusto and think you are a credit to the forum.🙂 Nauti things hypos but controllable, take care.😎
 
14.2 this morning, not bad considering last nights 32.8.
Tough week with lots of steroids to control cancer symptoms and scans and appointments to hopefully find a new plan.
Only one Consultant had the ‘open and frank’ discussion and suggested I should stop all treatment. I must not be feeling top notch as it did wobble me a bit.
Have a great Sunday all xx

I hope you have a great Sunday @Tickledpinknot, it sounds like you are going through tough times {{{HUGS}}}
 
Morning all.🙂 6.2 here.😛

A nice relaxing day planned today after the big house move (and resulting BG roller coaster).

More (((hugs))) for you, @Tickledpinknot. I hope your BG gives you a break today, as well as all the other stuff you’re going thru.

Sorry to read your post and your tough week. Hope you are having a relaxed sunday
 
Good morning 🙂 15.2 after a prolonged hypo I couldn't get out of for 3 hours last night. I think my glycogen supply had been used up with the previous night hypo. Ah well another day to have a go.

Best wishes to you @Tickledpinknot for a kinder day today 🙂

Hope the house is taking shape @Bloden and it's not a sea of cardboard boxes 🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

Suffering a bit after my expedition to the Rovers. Had to go, I was going stir crazy. Lift is supposed to be repaired tomorrow, but the siege will be broken this afternoon with a Tesco delivery. Daughter and Son in Law will greet the delivery men at the stairs and bring all the stuff up. That’s a relief, down to our last evening meal.:confused:

It was good at Ewood. The lady who looks after the crocks came to ask if I was OK, having missed a couple of games because of the lift. I reassured her that I was just grumpy for having missed games, though she said at the last game it rained so hard that everyone with wheels had to escape to the concourse to watch on TV. Proper friendly club, Blackburn, as many visiting fans will aver. Routine win, 2-0 against bottom club Ipswich, who were probably confused by the hills on the way here.:D

Anyway, back on topic, had a nice straight line overnight to a waking 6.8, so that’ll do me.

Have a good day, everyone.🙂

And tickledpinknot, sorry you are having a horrible time, but have the best day you can. No doctors to disturb you on a Sunday.
 
Good morning peoples. 6.9 @ 5.34am this morning and yesterday 7.0 @ 6.28am with a last reading of 6.3 @ 10.09pm. I luv seeing those 6s after having been in the double figures. That was scary. Yay for low carb and no pigging. :D

I keep eyeing my lift now just in case, it is only one floor but how would I get my shopping trolley up if this one breaks down. My knees are knackered. Hope ours is an Otis then, I shall check in case.
 
Afternoon folks. I am well late today. I was “out” out last night, first time for 6/7 months. In a pub by 5pm, meal at 8pm and another pub 10pm - 12am! Bed at 1am. As a very occasional drinker I was a bit unsure and a tad nervous about injecting too much insulin. At 8pm my BGs were 7.2, I had had 2 glasses of Prosecco at this stage, great I thought. Ordered calamari, light batter, then sword fish with spaghetti. Also had a small piece of white bread. I guesstimated 60 grams of carbs. Injected 6 units. Had 2 ( large) glasses of a crisp Sauvignon Blanc with meal. Next pub I had a Diet Coke, my eyes were a bit blurry by now! Got home, 12.30 BGs 7.7, quite pleased but a bit concerned about the alcohol making me low through the night so had a chocolate biscuit. Then injected my 5 units of Levemir. Didn’t get up until 10.30, I know, disgusting, and was shocked to find my BGs at 11.8! 😱 Washed my hands again and they came back at 11.5! I have never ever had morning BGs so high. Where did I go wrong? Did a correction with breakfast and my usual 1-5 ratio for my Burgen bread, just checked bloods and 5.1! I have decided to cancel my membership of the diabetes club today and will rejoin tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of your day, I’m doing a big, fat nowt! 🙂
