6.4 for me today, received a letter in the post yesterday for an appointment with diabetes consultant on 21st January, fantastic eh 🙄 although nothing about getting blood tests done (review was only May anyway so would've been a bit soon) wonder what he's wanting?
Hoping I get a day to rest my foot as it'll be less swollen when I get up in the mornings but puffs up more as the day goes on with walking on it etc, if only people were willing to give me a break and offer to help with the things I have to do throughout the day, its not like I've never helped them when they've needed it, its helping one that got me into this situation in the first place! 😡
Morning all.🙂 4.2 here.😛 Strange I’m so low - I’ve lowered Tresiba to 10 - must be all the thinking and head-scratching I’m doing (writing an essay for uni)...roll on the deadline!
Morning on this very ‘blue’ morning. 5.9 for me today, hoorah in the 5s, just, for once. Barely ate yesterday so that’s probably why. Was at hospital for 3.5 hours, various tests, got questions answered and am even more confused. As I don’t have too many symptoms from the ‘mesh’ at present he is thinking of holding off on the two major ops that would need to be done and just lasering the area instead but knowing that I will still need the big ops in the future. He will discuss it with the MDT in London next month. Part of me thinks let’s just get it over with whilst I’m youngish, fit and healthy. Am going to write everything down I think and over the weekend email his secretary regarding my concerns. Why is everything so complicated?
Sorry for the whinge, I know there are so many having problems and I wish you all well x
Reduced my basal by 50% all day yesterday as been having too many hypos and my lazy plan worked a treat- in range all day and 3 units less insulin used. Repeat experiment today. 🙂
Have the best day you can muster . Ted @KARNAK I hope you’re doing ok and things are settling for you x
Another word that cropped up in the aforementioned crossword – geriatric. That’s what I’m becoming.
Thought I’d posted a 5.3 earlier.
I can only blame the unreasonably early hour. These fingers are designed to fly swiftly over a standard layout keyboard,
not prod a stupid piece of gorilla glass.
Bluddy Android, it’s always messing up what I try to enter and deleting whole chunks for no reason.😳🙄
Morning all, 6.6 here. Bleary eyed this morning. Decided not to stay up for the election results, but it was so wet and windy here overnight that the rain hammering down on the roof kept waking me up, and I kept having a sneaky peek on my ipad.
If there hadn’t been more important things for the BBC to concentrate on, I'm sure they’d have been reporting flooding, I can see a huge lake over the water meadows again.
