Great news Paul! 🙂 Do you perhaps suffer from 'white coat syndrome' with the blood pressure? I most certainly do - it's always higher when the doctor or nurse takes it 🙄 I've got a home blood pressure monitor so I can find out what it really is 🙂

White coat syndrome deffo exists - the nurse at my new practice is reeeeaaaally nice and my BP readings are always excellent with her, whereas my DSN in Spain was a right hateful moo-cow and I always had higher readings with her. Funnily enuff, only thing we lost in our house move was the BP monitor!🙄

Morning all.🙂 An overnight hypo and a fasting 5.3 on the Libre.😛

Got lots of snacks lined up for today’s stint in the garden - the plants are quaking in their roots (or is it just windy today?).

You seem to be really enjoying your walking @Carolg, I hope you have a lovely day 🙂 It's sunshine and perfect blue skies here, hope you get the same 🙂 Wrap up though!
 
Morning all. 7.3 for me. My figures really are all over the place at the moment.
 
Good morning all .. things seem to be settling with my BG this morning at 5 they were 4.6 had a small glass of milk went back to bed .. up at 7:30 was 5.6 before breakfast.. hope you all have a fabulous weekend I am away at my caravan for the week
 
Good morning. It’s a lovely sunny morning here with only a slight breeze , they say it’s going to be warmer today which will be nice .
Woke up suddenly with an urgent need, two of my usual signs of hypo, I managed to squeeze in a scan 3.4 it had a slanted down arrow before trying to make a stumbling dash to the loo, note to self of need to fill my loo pot of glucose tabs as it was empty. On my way back for hypo treatment right, no wrong, I noticed the clock was saying 03 00 my fuddled brain knew summat was wrong as it was broad daylight, so instead of treating hypo, fuddled brain again 🙄 I found a battery and put it in said clock , when I tried to put it back on the wall I nearly fell over which made my fuddled brain realise their was something far more important to sort out than that clock. All sorted now though,
4.1 on the finger. 🙂

Hope you all have a good day.
 
Late this morning, forgot about it as was in pain! You’ll think I’m nuts but as I jabbed myself this morning in the stomach, as usual, I hit a vein, it bled and it blooming well hurt but at the same time my back went! I kid you not, at the very same moment. 😱 Acupuncture? In agony at first but have had a hot shower and seems to be easing thank goodness, it’s only 3 months since the last time. Anyways a disappointing 7.6 this morning, haven’t a clue! Have a great Saturday, was frosty and sunny first thing but gloomy now. :(

I can’t possibly give you a 'like' for that post, so here’s a commiseration instead.

Hi Northerner, I think I do suffer from "White coat syndrome" . I'll never forget when I was at work and nurse came to carry out a few tests one being blood pressure. Once again my blood pressure was high and I was told to attend my local GPto have it checked again. When I went to GP, my blood pressure was normal . Just one of those odd phenomena I guess.
 
Good afternoon all, my bs was 10.7 this morning. I undertook some exercise early evening and before bedtime I was 6.8. I had a toasted muffin (carbs 31.1 and half a protein bar which had 6 grams of carbs). I didn't take any insulin as I was scared that affects of exercise would give me a hypo during the night. Any thoughts would be appreciated as to what I should have done.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone .

Thanks Robin, feeling a lot better, think it may just have been a spasm. Probably caused by carrying baby about all week. Was going to go out into the garden to help Mr Eggy but changed my mind, will just sit on my bum instead! :D

I might have gone for a little lower in carbs - something like a slice of bread and peanut butter or cheese on toast, around 15g carbs, and the cheese or peanut butter (or both, why not! 😉 ) would slow the digestion to help keep levels raised a bit through the night 🙂 It's also a good idea, as you are learning about the effects of exercise on you, to test in the middle of the night, around 3 am, to see where things stand. This is the time when our livers tend to drop to their lowest levels of releasing glucose, so often is our lowest point overnight (all part of the 'body clock' cycle). It takes an accumulation of knowledge and experience to become confident, but you have made a start! 🙂

Many thanks for your advice Northerner, it's much appreciated . I think I have peanut butter in the house so will try that the next time ☺️
 
Just back from a very windy walk from lundin links, though shell bay, Ellie, St Monans,
Pittenweam, and on to Anstruther. Woopee 13.1 miles and that’s what half Moonwalk is, so getting well prepared . Me who was a walking sloth

Wow! 😱 Well done, I'm going to start walking more once the weather gets warmer. I really must. My health has deteriorated badly due to food addiction. :(

Up at 3 due to pigging out, I don't sleep well when I've been particularly stupid. Didn't see the point of measuring at that time though so waited till 5.46am when I was 8.8.
