Group 7-day waking average?

Score on the door - 5.4. 🙂
Back to icy weather again. 😱

Have a good day everybody.

Dez
 
Good morning folks🙂

Another flying visit to this thread. 5.4 for me this morning, nice trace overnight more or less straight. Good prep for my trip to sunny Liverpool for an MRI of my spinal cord. Last time I had an MRI (in Glasgow) I fell asleep while the machine ground on. Better not do that today, my legs have a mind of their own when I’m asleep:D

That’s the last investigation that the consultant in Liverpool ordered, so then I just wait for the appointment to see her again for results and an opinion. Then on Wednesday I go to Blackburn for a routine gastro appointment. This is all part of the great scheme - if you are going to get a chronic condition, get one that isn’t going to kill you. It’s worked so far...:D

Have a good day gang, I will for sure😉
 
Good luck @mikeyB - you certainly have to travel for your appointments!
I pretended I was in a spaceship last time I had an MRI - kept me calm. Obviously didn't think about the actual risk statistics of space flights!

Yesterday had 5.3 this morning I was 4.9 - back to the usual.
 
7.9... An improvement from last night I guess...
Have stopped Gliclazide to see if it is having any effect. I've had higher levels generally, that started before making the change, but some random lows too... (partly work induced)
 
Yes she is, the one that fogot to put the mushrooms in. I know that the original recipe does not call for mushrooms but I LOVE them so much. She probably thought that they were too phallic.
 
Well, I woke up at 5am with a reading of 3.0 which again is my own fault as I had a couple of really delicious G&Ts last night followed by a couple of glasses of even pleasanter port whilst I cooked dinner. Thankfully, despite the alcohol and hypo, I was bright and breezy this morning and was at the stable yard by 6am, got 4 horses mucked out and one ridden, chucks and cats fed and home and showered and changed for a dentist appt at 11.30. Then I spent the afternoon in the company of a lovely young lady whom I met on my DAFNE course, having a catch up and comparing notes, which was really enlightening. Just a really lovely day!
 
Evening all. 6.6 @ 7.17am last reading for a bit, have run out of strips again. 🙂
 
GOOD MORNING FRIENDS

OMG I've just tested a 3.1 Arrggghhh! Wtf is going on?! Not happy with this at all so tested again twice, this time it was 5.7 and 5.8 that's more like it so shoo off DF!
Sunday waking ~ 6.5
Monday waking ~ 6.1

On Saturday I had homemade veggie soup for my evening meal at 5:30pm with a very small piece of naan bread and a digestive bikky with a cup of Chamomile tea. I didn't test pre or post meal coz I knew I wouldnt spike.

Around 10:30pm I began to feel woozy with a whining sound in my head. I thought I was going to faint so I got down on the floor. When I tried to move, I couldn't. In my fuzzy state I knew I needed to drink water but it was out of reach on the table. I tried to get up again but I couldn't ~ neither could I test coz my meter kit wasn't nearby. I doubt I could have done so anyway.

I found myself drifting in and out consciousness, scared stiff is an understatement. After about 2 & half hours I started to feel a little better but I still couldn't get up from the floor. I gradually wiggled my way on my stomach to the kitchen hoping to get a glass of water. I lay there, for how long I do not know.

Anyway after a while I started to feel more like myself and was able to stand up verrrry slowly! What happened is not an isolated coz I had a similar experience a month or so ago. Daughter took me to A&E the next day. I had a scan of my head but it was clear. I consulted my GP the next day who arranged for me to have blood taken. Result nothing untoward. So I'm wondering if Saturdays incident is Diabetes related?!
Rant over, thanks for 'listening'
Take care folks and stay as well as you can.

Good heavens @wirralass how scary. I don’t feel I have enough knowledge to say if it was diabetes related or not but could it possibly have been very low blood pressure, do you suffer from that? I’m glad you are feeling better now but I would be inclined to let your GP know so that at least it is recorded on your notes. Hope you can get to the bottom of what is happening and take good care.

Very sorry to hear this @wirralass :( I don't think it would have been diabetes-related, it does sound more like blood pressure and your need for water would suggest dehydration. Are you on any medication that might list what happened as a possible (if rare) side-effect? How do you feel now? I hope, much better {{{HUGS}}}
 
Morning, not such a good one, had to bundle Bubbles into the cat box just after 6 last night when he started showing signs of yet another urine infection

Anyways 4.6 for me this morning and off out this afternoon to sign on, really cant be bothered as was up most of the night with nightmares in the little bits of sleep I caught, I suffer with them regularly so I cant link it to starting my Perindopril last night

Have a nice day you lot
Xx
