5.1 for me still having dizzy spells. Really hoping I get over this quickly as I have had to take time off of work.

I'm sorry to hear this Lorraine :( Do any of your meds specify dizziness as a side-effect? Or possibly a combination of them? Might be worth asking your pharmacist for a review as they are usually pretty good at possible interactions. Hope you get to the bottom of it soon 🙂

Good morning 🙂 7.2 for me today 🙂 Good news and slightly-less-good-news at the eye hospital yesterday. I still haven't reached the point at which they would give injections - in fact my macular oedema has improved slightly 🙂 Pressure in eyes still a bit on the high side though, so I've now been put on drops for it - this is despite the fact that she said the holes they had lasered in my eyes had been a success :confused: If the drops work I'll probably be on them for life, if not then they might do more laser. A bit annoying, but I can't complain 🙄

Sorry to hear about the drops Alan. I’ve been on them for 20 years and they are ok, it’s just the discipline of taking them and potentially yet more eye appointments. They’ve been threatening me with very scary glaucoma surgery for a while now but fortunately I keep escaping it 🙂 I’m glad that your macula oedema has slightly improved 🙂
 
Good morning everyone. I had a small can of Coke for a 4.8 at 5am and reduced my basal to 50% for 1.5 hours. Woke up to a nice 5.9. Obviously need to alter my basals yet again tonight.

Thanks Amanda 🙂 It's disappointing about the glaucoma, but at least it's being actively monitored now - there was never even a mention of it all my years in Southampton! 😱

Ps if you every need SLT laser for the pressures that is very straightforward in comparison to the laser for the holes in your eye.

Opticians are usually the ones that first pick it up but you may have only recently developed it. Hopefully it’s that you’ve only just recently developed it.
 
Morning all. A 6.9 today. Off to walk around a lake this morning, touchwood there won’t be any peat bogs for me to sink into! Have a terrific Tuesday. 🙂
 
Good morning, glorious here in sunny Sale. 🙂 7.8 @ 7.24am. Wonder how low carb I'd have to go to get to a 5.2?

Is anybody posting in the menu thread? Can somebody post in the menu thread? I feel an idiot keep repeating my boring menus over and over. The admins might sweep me away for double posting. 😉

Good morning 6.6 went to bed on 9.8 after eating an orange late in the evening.🙂 Had a really bad hypo yesterday, luckily I had just got back from Lidl`s and managed to get in the door, 6 JB`s 2 glucose tablets still an hour before back in the 4`s.🙄

Good luck @Lanny with bloods.🙂

Nice plate of grub @Benny G.🙂

Have a great day folks.🙂
 
Good afternoon my lovelies! Sorry to hear your not quite right @Grannylorraine hopefully you'll be back to yourself in no time! 🙂

@Northerner sorry it wasn't all good news at your appointment

@Lanny good luck

@KARNAK hope your hypo hangovers aren't too bad! I suffer for the whole day after :(

Anyways it was a 7.6 for me this morning, not too bad considering I went to bed on a 10.5! :O, been having problems with air bubbles in the cartridge and although I'd tried getting rid of it a few times the last few days doesn't seem on a few occasions its budged, changed last night as was getting low anyway

Bubbles has the vet tonight for what should have been a bandage change but it was loose last night and when Bruce brought him up this morning it had come off in the box! 🙄 also we'll find out what the bill is tonight as well, never ending lol

hope you all have a great day!! :D xx
 
Good evening all, hope everyone had a good day 🙂. My bs yesterday morning was 8.4, this morning was12. Now as I write I'm having to eat as scanner reading is 2.9😱.

Hope all goes well with blood tests Lanny 🙂
