Morning all and 5.3 for me

Ah! That Friday feeling.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, 6.8 here, managed not to hypo after a long walk yesterday. Perhaps it helped that the walk was punctuated by lunch in the camp site cafe up the road (which is a lot nicer than it sounds).

I went for a country walk the other day and found myself supplementing my daily diet (throughout the day) with 6 jelly babies, an apple, a cereal bar, 4 Wispas and a peanut butter sandwich....! 😱 Pesky reductions in insulin requirements! 😱 🙄 (yes, all this in spite of reducing insulin doses in anticipation!)

Reduced insulin (basal and bolus) and a pesto and goats cheese panini did the trick. I did get perilously close to hypo at bedtime, but headed for bed with a shortbread biscuit.

I'm a bit out of shape after winter sloth, so I suspect it was a shock to the system! 😱

6.7 for me. It’s like a rollercoaster right now🙄

Morning all. 7.4 this morning. Highest waking reading for a while. Didn’t sleep well again last night. Still awake at almost 3am and very restless since then too.

Hubby and I are off to Brownsea Island today for a good long walk.

6.8 today. Waking BG seems to be going up. Wonder why.

Wow, that’s a scooby snack !

Good morning all. Over 9 this morning so I'm trying not to think about it. Back to the low carb from today... 🙄

It’s good to join the sloth family sometimes

09:58 BS 7.6. Umm.

Yesterday’s plan started to unravel after lunch. It was a gorgeous, sunny, bright & warm day & my insulin needs were less than I thought. I had an instinctual feeling & followed it even though it didn’t make sense & it turned out to be right!

I had my breakfast of soup & had 14 units Novorapid, added 2 as BS was higher than the day before, & I fell back into sleep without testing soon after. Ate my lunch at 11:03 BS 10.3 had more soup, 10 units Novorapid & 38 units Levemir, followed instinct to reduce basal by 2. After lunch 12:44 BS 7.6. Ok.

Then just as I had put dinner in the oven & tested 16:11 BS 3.8. I didn’t feel anything at all & had 1 jelly baby, just in case, as dinner was nearly done. Dinner 16:37 BS 4.5 had beef steak, chips, grape juice & the last slice of carrot cake, should have thrown out but, didn’t & dithered what to inject. In the end I went ultra conservative, to be on the safe side, & went with 8 units Novorapid: clearly lunch bolus was too much; was my basal reduction not enough either? After dinner 18:31 BS 10.4 umm, jelly baby & didn’t bolus till after eating?

Waited till the 4 hours of active Novorapid were past before testing to give me a baseline to test the basal dose of 38 units Levemir 20:40 BS 7.8. Tested about 2 hours later 22:36 BS 7.7. Ah! BS held steady so, the basal reduction WAS correct.

Therefore I conclude that lunch bolus needs to be reduced more than I thought & I’ll try 14 units Novorapid today & keep basal at 38 units Levemir. Dinner dose was a bit conservative but, not by much so, I’ll try 12 units Novorapid. And, as always, roughly half the dose for soup: rounded up to the nearest even unit as I find 1 unit up or down doesn’t make a difference!

Now then, what about breakfast? Since yesterday’s early start & then nap afterwards, the jury’s still out & I think I shall stick with 22 halved to 12 units for soup this morning!

Crikey! It’s taken me so long to type this: was thinking & deciding on doses at the same time!

Ok! Decided! NOW, see how the plan works?

A late good morning to you all!🙂 It’s another gorgeous day today!😛 Have a wonderful day full of sunshine inside & out!😉

Edited to correct typos; so many of them!😱🙄😳

Good morning pals🙂

I’m up the legendary creek, but I do have a paddle. Went to bed on 6.1, nice steady line 2 hours after dinner. All insulin taken, usual dose of evening Levemir. Woke on 16.7. Around 3 or 4 in the morning, the steady line just took off. Sensor problem? No, BG said 17.

Anyway, I’m trudging downwards now after a whack of humalog, so no great damage, just sitting here bewildered. Nothing new there, then🙂

First time in 23 years I’ve had something like this. It’s a bit like happily walking along the street without a care in the world, then a piano falls on your head. Or maybe the DF.

Anyway, all theories welcome. Answers on one side of the paper only. Marks will be given for coherent thinking, wit and wisdom.

Have good day, everyone. 🙂

She’s mastered the art of multitasking, and is splitting her time, the wee beast. I woke on a perfectly fine 6.7 and am now 16.8 for no discernible reason.

That or there’s a lot of stray pianos about.

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 6.6 again for me today 🙂

05:53 BS 6.3.🙂 Was woken up just now by a chorus of little birdies chirping away outside my bedroom window: Spring is definitely here!

Yesterday went almost like the day before except that I JUST about managed not to go hypo after midday meds only because I ate an hour earlier at 5 hours after bolus, instead of 6 hours after, & BS was 4.8. So, midday basal still needs going down today; to 36 units Levemir?🙄

It’s a pretty grey morning out there at the moment! Yesterday syarted bright but, then the grey clouds moved in & stayed all day. I’m hoping that it’ll brighten up again today!🙄

An early good morning to you all!😉 Have a wonderful start to the weekend folks!😛

 

[Ljc]
