Group 7-day waking average?

[Bloden]

Morning all.🙂 6.8 here.😛

Good luck, @merrymunky. Give em...er, not hell (they’re just kids!)...boundaries and affection, hahaha.🙂

 

[Bloden]

Looks like you’ve got a dozy slow worm there, @Robin. 🙄 Mine was almost exactly the same last night!😱

 

[Flower]

Good morning 6.1 today, that’ll do!

Best wishes @merrymunky , I hope your day goes as well as possible. 🙂

Off to the theatre this pm to see ‘Pricks’ Jade Byrnes play about T1, really looking forward to it- must put my pump cgm on vibrate instead of alarm! 😉

Have a good day all🙂

An early good morning. @Flower I hope you are feeling better. Thank you about the film, Fisherman's Friend was good.
A lot for you to take in with the appointment Mike but I'm so glad that you're not dying, but big decisions for you to make. I feel for you.
Early BG this morning of 3.2 - thank goodness I scanned whilst I was in bed because I hadn't realised that I was hypo. 1 small can of sugar Coke and now up to 3.9. Optic nerve scan at 8.30am.
Had a strange "turn" after going to the cinema yesterday. Mark said I seemed strange and for 10 minutes I felt awful and couldn't get more than one word out at a time. I phoned 111, they said to see GP, lovely receptionist spoke to GP who obviously thought it was too late to see me so said to call in the morning if it happened again or 111 during the night! It's the second time that it's happened in the last month, but seeing neurologist on May 7th so will hopefully get answers then. I'm hoping that he will say that it is another symptom of my silent migraines and not a possible TIA. Getting almost too nervous now to go out on my own unless I get a taxi very close to where I want to be in case one of these events happen when I'm out on my own. Sorry for the long ramble (I blame the hypo 🙂 ).

Good luck with scan and hope you get answers when you go to neuro appointment in May

Morning all. 7.1 here. Hoping we can be back in the 6s soon!

I’m up insanely early as it is my first day back at work since the end of November. I’ve never been away from work for such a long time and am rather nervous about walking back through those doors again. It’s all the more bittersweet because I should be enjoying the start of maternity leave.

Good luck today.

Good afternoon everyone🙂

Woke up on 3.7 this morning, probably because of lengthy discussions with the neurologist and shooting down into the village for bog roll.

Anyway, I’m not dying. To explain things, I learnt something yesterday that I didn’t know before. That is, both Ulcerative Colitis, and its treatment (and its preventative) Asacol, can cause peripheral neuropathy. It’s an autoimmune phenomenon.

Now before all this kicked off 4 years ago, I’d just had a flare up of UC treated with Asacol, and steroids. I did tell the neuros in Glasgow, as a sort of by the way, but it didn’t register. Everyone was thrown by the motor neurone only problem - it’s rare in UC and Diabetes.

So what kicked all this off was a rare phenomenon, and the theory is that the Diabetes has slowly chipped away at the damaged motor neurones since, fooling everybody by sticking to the motor neurones. I’ve still got no sensory loss, bit of gastric slowing, perfect eyes and the naughty bits still work.

That’s all what the neurologist worked out, and it sounds plausible.

So here’s the dilemma - do I stop the Asacol because it just might be worsening the neuropathy, and risk a flare up of the UC which almost certainly will?

Is this a great excuse for a pump?

While I ponder these imponderables, have a great day, cos it’s going to get colder. Cast not a clout before May is out🙄

And you thought Brexit was hard to work out

Glad you got some answers @mikeyB . Now you just need solutions. No doubt your head will be birling trying to find solutions.

Good morning all, a disappointing 9.1 for me, with no idea why. Have a lovely day everyone, and hope it all goes well.

Hi merrymunky hope all goes well for you today {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Enjoy the theatre @Flower! 🙂 I wonder if there will be many T1s in the audience?

 

[Paul123]

Good morning all, 4.8 for this morning . I think it’s time for breakfast

 

[Flower]

Enjoy the theatre @Flower! 🙂 I wonder if there will be many T1s in the audience?

There's got to be a higher chance of a few T1's in the audience than say at 'Murder in the Vicarage' surely? It is quite a niche subject - I'll try and be a T1 spotter for the afternoon! 😉😉

Hopefully there won't be any hen parties that have misconstrued the title! 😱

5.6 for me today.

@merrymunky, hope your first day back is not too stressful.

Good afternoon all🙂

Had a long lie in this morning, and woke up with 4.7, which is good enough. Couldn’t be bothered to do a blood test, but the way this sensor is working it’s probably 5.1. (Or even 5.2 - whoopee)

Na’then, I’m going to take a week off cursing doctors. I’ve discovered that Asacol can cause pancreatic inflammation, so they’ve gone in the bin. It’s a bit annoying getting iatrogenic disorders.

Meanwhile, I will be pestering the GP to get me an appointment with the gastroenterologist to discuss a colonoscopy that I’m overdue for, and future treatment. I’ll also be pestering the DPN because I really need a pump to keep a tight rein on the D to spare what’s left of my tattered motor neurones.

Had some good news this morning to cheer me up, though...

See you in May🙂

And behave yourselves

 

[merrymunky]

Thank you so much everyone. My day was actually really lovely. I’m not resuming teaching my actual class for now but I’m just in as support where needed. I was in a class I know very well today as I taught them once a week last year and they have been at the school for a long time. They were delightful today. Adults were all so supportive too. Glad I did it.

05:55 BS 6.5. A bit later today!🙂

Yesterday was a bit cooler & so is this morning.

Just got my new electric bill yesterday & I only used about a third of the amount of electricity this quarter so, bill is only just over £340 compared to last quarter’s whopping over £900 bill. The monthly direct debits were in credit for to the tune of over £200 which was discounted from that huge bill & these last 3 months are also in credit of about £150 so, I’d say everything will be all square over the next 2 quarters, maybe just 1, in time for the next Winter season. I’ve learnt my lesson: oil, no matter how expensive it is, is cheaper for heating than electricity!🙄😱

So, I’m rather relieved about that huge bill being cut down to size even though there were times I was cold & had to use the hot water bottle at night as I didn’t want to add too much that bill!😱🙂

A slightly later than usual, for me, Good Morning to you all! May there be sunshine on the inside to offset any cooler weather on the outside!😉
