Morning all, a breezy 4.7 for me this morning. I've been generally in the upper 4's without food for a few days, had xmas dinner with family yesterday (everyone is heading off in different directions).
Morning all....... No wait, evening all!! I was at 6.2 this morning, but that was testing at 3am when I got up for work. Had a fun filled 4am til 4pm shift in what can only be described as a mad house. The good bit was though I was upstairs in the chiller sorting out customer orders all day, so was out of the way of the customers!
Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Can’t believe I’m first up again. You lot must be so organised, I’ve loads to do today. A disappointing Len Goodman today. SEVEN! Hardly ate anything yesterday. Had a bad day, the old haematoma decided to swell up again, thinking I may have overdone it on Saturday. Fresh bruising appeared and I was in a lot of pain so subsequently after my foray to the supermarket ( Mr Eggy insisted he came along, that’s when I knew it was serious) I was good for nowt for the rest of the day. Fed up was an understatement but today’s another day, I was in bed by 9. Had a half decent sleep and so far not too much pain, so ready to break eggs with a stick. And I’ve a lot of eggs to break! Won’t be going too mad as the back injury Gestapo will be up soon checking my every move! Have a great day and I hope tomorrow brings you everything you wish for. I doubt I will be checking in as will be very busy all day. Merry Christmas! 🙂
Off to work shortly. Have a lovely Christmas everyone and let’s hope we all have a happy and healthy New Year.
My best wishes to everyone on this great site who have been so supportive to me in my first year of diabetes, big hugs to you all. Sue x
Merry Christmas everyone. 7.5 after treating a 3.1 at 3am. My consultant would not be impressed with the amount of hypos that I'm having but I'm doing everything I can think of to stop them. Anyhow I'm looking forward to a lovely Christmas with Mark. He's picking up canapes from Waitrose this morning and then we're going to see the matinee performance of Cinderella followed by champagne and canapes at home 🙂
Merry Christmas to you all - I may not get on forum tomorrow with our all day family time...Call me old fashion but I do like my family for Christmas dinner, better than the traditional turkey.
Well record call to the health centre yesterday, generally 8am when they open is a right nightmare to get through especially on Monday's but when I called I was only 3rd in the queue! Booked in for my bloods on the 13th at 9:30am
5.3 for me this morning, I'll be having a quick log in tomorrow just in case any members are alone Christmas or just need a chat with someone that knows what they are going through but for all those that won't be around I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and all the best for 2020! Have a great Christmas guys!
mmm my battery in the BG reader is down to 1 bar. could this affect readings?
this morning only 4.4 mmol, I didn't take my metformin thought I had better not, this afternoon I had carbs with some german chocolate coated gingerbread and 2 hours later only 4.8 (after the cakes I did go for a briskish walk so I wonder if that is why so low)
Wishing every one low or lower blood glucose levels even with Christmas treats.
Good morning . 4.5 with a nice flatfish good job I had those walnuts.
Just remembered I need to get our steaks out of 5he freezer so they will be ready for our early dinner m
Merry Christmas everyone. It's 5am and I am 3.1 despite cutting 3 units off of my bolus last night totally prepared to wake up with higher numbers. Oh well c'est la vie. I'm going back to bed in a minute and then plan to have a brilliant Christmas Day when I get up xx
