Just practise Sue, practise
And taking all my meds regularly
Plus I am too scared of diabetic complications.
Hope that answers your question
 
Morning all on this sunny ( ish) Friday. A back to normal 6.2, like you @SueEK I've never had a HS, but I’m special in other ways! 😉 Have a great day. I’m trying to think of ways to become a millionaire as daughter number 2 has just booked her wedding for next July. Daughter number three is getting married this December! At least I know in a years time that’s them all off our hands! 😱
 
Morning all, a 7.8 for me today. Had a great day out at Colchester zoo yesterday.

I’m doing the same but not there yet, hopefully will at some point, early days yet I suppose. Well done to you
 
Good morning gang🙂

I woke in the night for a wee and found my BG was 2.2, so I ate three JBs and went back to sleep. Woke up on 6.2, which is neat😎

I’m shortly going off the the surgery for a review with the nurse. This one is BP and asthma, not diabetes. More arguments.:D

Tell you what, England stuffed Australia yesterday. England got them 223 all out, then knocked off the runs with more than 17 overs to spare with only two wickets lost. It was humiliating for the Aussies. Nothing wrong with that, mind.🙂

Spent an antisocial afternoon playing on the computer while watching cricket on the iPad. Spent an hour downloading a game only to discover it won’t run on Windows 10, even in emulation mode (pretending to be Windows 8). I think that’s what’s wrong with me, my brain is fine, in Mikey 66.6, but the body is in 82.5, specially the legs. Error 404, file not found.:confused:

Have a good day, folks, POETS day for wage slaves. :D
 
5.8 for me this morning despite having a bad day yesterday and being on or around 10 most of the day and just feeling unwell.... mostly indigestion I think.... but it really put me out of sorts and resorted to slurping the Gaviscon from the bottle. Going to try carbs for breakfast again today, so I have pre bolussed and I'm giving it an hour before I measure out my bran flakes. Fingers crossed!

@Northerner @Hazel and @MeeTooTeeTwo many congrats on your House Specials. I hope you all have a special day to follow.
@mikeyB Thanks for that cricket update. I don't have a TV and totally forgot to check online for result. Got to love it when we stuff the old adversary! Hope we can maintain that form for the final.
@Anitram Safe journey home and well done for getting back into the 5s after your naughty chip forage into the 6s.... Can't believe you have only had one such minor blip considering you have been on hols. You must have steely self control!
@KARNAK and @Kaylz Hope you are both feeling a bit (or even a lot) better today.
@Michael12420 Your readings really are concerning! Have you tried reducing your basal insulin a little bit. You would be better being a bit on the high side for a while than having hypos like this so regularly. I wonder if your pancreas is starting back up. That is a lot of surplus carbs in that meal beyond just 2 units of NR. I really would encourage you to seek medical advice (I understand that it is a long round trip but this is getting pretty serious) or reduce the insulin further.
 
Good morning 7.8, thankyou for all your kind wishes.🙂 Feel much the same today so take it easy day,🙄 my goodness so many HS @Northerner @Hazel and @MeeTooTeeTwo congratulations.🙂

@Michael12420 I have to agree with @rebrascora you need to get advice asap.

Hope you get better soon @Kaylz.🙂

Have great day folks stay safe.🙂

Feeling a bit groggy today. Slept right through a 6 hour hypo. The alarm on my smartwatch is alright while I am awake, but sometimes I sleep like a log. Have a good day, almost the weekend.

😱 Hope things settle for you and you feel better soon, that doesn't look good :( You're a whizz with tech - can you link your smart watch to a cattle prod? 😱 😉
 
12:23 BS 7.5. I woke feeling awful! I have the sniffles too now& my throat is really sore! So, really don’t want to eat but, need insulin. Making soup & get that down for Novorapid, already had meds & Midday Levemir. :( A rare frown only because I’m feeling rough!

Propping up my chin to wish you all a Good Morning & a Wonderful Day, just because I’m feeling awful I don’t want you lot to be miserable like me! A 🙂 at least if not quite my usual cheeky wink!

Soup, Novorapid & then physio stretches: oh joy; that water bottle stretch is VERY hard work still! 😱 My right neck & shoulder are taking all of the strain as that’s the stronger arm that’s helping the left arm up! Makes sense I suppose but, better mention next & last week at physio. 🙄

Look after yourself Lanny 🙂
 
Morning all and 5.3 for me.

Taking car to garage. Leak in the power steering. I replaced a sensor myself through which fluid had been gushing but now it's coming from somewhere else.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, an 8.4 for me today.
 
Woke at 6 to 4.7, libre showed a nice flat line overnight. Fell back to sleep and woke to a commotion, bird had got in thru window and was trapped behind curtain, like the bird wife was in a flap about it getting in bedroom, kept curtains tight shut and gently pushed the window open wider, it flew out and surprisingly didn't leave a mess behind.

Last time we had a bird in house it came in by the patio door, it left a trail of destruction behind.
 
Good morning my lovelies! 🙂

5.7 for me today, still feeling absolutely dreadful and my throat is very tender but at least it's not a dry cough anymore

Dull here but still very clammy

Hope you all have a great day! :D
