Good morning 🙂 4.8 for me today, with a cliff dive and a flatfish 🙂 Very blowy in the night, although that appears to have settled down now 🙂 Have a good day everyone 🙂
5.9 for me after 1 and a half digestive biscuits for a 5.4 at bed time, no idea why it was there as my correction for an unexpected 9.6 pre tea should have left me about 6.5 possibly my lunch dose took longer to be absorbed yesterday, I don't know lol
Sign on for me today, appointment not until 10:50 but I'm hoping if I go along early and explain that I'm not very well they will see me early, keep feeling dizzy and everything so I really don't want to be left in the other town like this for an hour waiting on the bus
6.3 this morning, but considering I ended up eating 3 roast potatoes, 2 large Yorkshire puds and a chocolate mousse with raspberry sorbet dessert, I am pretty pleased with that, all my determination went out the window when I got to the restaurant. Even took my mums Yorkshire pud, oh well not looking forward to the scales this week.
Baz, thank you for keeping us informed of Teds condition, I hope the hospital have managed to get his numbers down, I have been worried about him reading how things were yesterday. Please pass on my love and tell him he is in our thoughts.
Morning campers. I had a much better sleep last night. A 6.7, I’m happy because I’m obviously not moving about and being in pain I did think my BGs would be higher. Had a much better day yesterday, I felt a lot more mobile and upright. I made a pan of Minestrone for lunch and felt fine after that. Might try and have a walk outside today as the frost has gone, didn’t want another accident! Anyways, enough about me. Have a great day everyone and best wishes to @KARNAK and thanks for the updates Baz. Much appreciated. @Ralph-YK hope you got home safe and sound and are recovering well. 🙂
Good morning Baz here once again for Ted, he is better this morning they do have a diabetes nurse on site who managed to get his blood sugars under control. He has two drips in his right arm and a machine that administers insulin when needed. I know it's more complicated than that but it seems to be doing the trick, he has had injections in his right eye under the consultants advice and has to have another head scan. He is asking about Ralph so if anyone can update me with information I will relay it to him. A nurse checks on him every 30 minutes and the doctor twice a day, I must admit his suite is very appealing and he wants for nothing, he can even have beer or spirits if the doctor allows it but not at the moment. Oh his morning reading was 17.7 I queried this with the staff nurse who told me his blood sugars need to be reduced slowly or other complications will arise. I hope this is not too long a post but you are all very supportive of each other l understand his loyalty to the forum. Bye for now Ted and Baz.
Hi @KARNAK thank you Baz and my best wishes to Ted. So glad to hear he is being so well looked after and what a wonderful friend he has in you. He is such an important part of this forum and greatly missed but we all want him better and he is in the best place for that to happen.
Ralph has been discharged from hospital and the last we heard was that he was waiting for the transport to take him home along with his prescriptions. I expect we will get an update soon although maybe one of the members knows more.
All our best to you and thank you for your kindness to Ted and for keeping us informed of his progress. Sue xx
