Phew! Good news about the eyes! 🙂 I've got to go to the hospital tomorrow to see if they want to burn any more holes in my eyes (glaucoma-related, not diabetes) 😱 I've been using some drops though, so hopefully that will have reduced the pressures 🙂I think I should Alan. Visit to GP who sent me to optician yesterday as an emergency, scary! Nothing worse than severe case of dry eyes. Prescribed eye drops 4 times a day
Should've had a fitbit for my grandad yesterday see what he did, had to send a complaint email to Stagecoach buses for him as the bus didn't turn up and go into Lidl's car park like it should, 86 years old, 1 hip replacement and uses a stick, he wasn't happy at allDidn't do too badly yesterday - my FitBit tells me I clocked up over 1300 steps. 😎
Congratulations on the 5.2 whatever day that was, we celebrate that here as a house special! 🙂Morning

When I have had a cortisone injection I now increase my basal beforehand, as I too end up with a steep rise to high levels. I haven’t been brave enough too Bolus beforehand, but do so as soon as I know how much they are putting in. I have also found I need that big increased basal and Bolus for a couple days after and I then bring it gradually down again over sometimes a couple of weeks. I then am very happy to eventually have a hypo.Morning all, 8.3 today.
Yesterday had steroid injection in thumb joint, very painful despite local going in first. Appointment was 1pm, before going in bg was 6.2 and got home just after 2 and levels had gone up to 15.4, expected a rise but not as quick as that, whacked in 5u and by tea time it was down to 9.2, upped basal by 60% and managed to keep below 9 all night according to libre. Still sore this morning but not as painful as it was, hoping the damn things brings some relief.
Sounds like you need less insulin, or less housework! Offer your sister some shades on arrival.Good morning. Not a good morning for me. 2.2 and fell over and hurt my arm. 3 morning hypo's in a row. I'm sure it's because of the tremendous amount of housework being done ready for my sisters visit. Either got to eat more or inject less.
Well done Karloff. Sounds like you are getting to grips with things.Morning

Maybe you need to do a bit of both. I hope your arm isn’t too sore now.Good morning. Not a good morning for me. 2.2 and fell over and hurt my arm. 3 morning hypo's in a row.
