Morning All , Well I'm nowhere near @Snowwy today with a 7.2 reading for me , bit of a wet and windy night here with a call out to works alarm system in the early hours as well so not a good night
6.4 again for me, which is kind of worrying. But will keep at the 800 cal thing for another week and see if BG doesn't start going back to "normal" for me.
Good morning from my sunny part of East Kent. I spoke too soon yesterday , my BGs did spot that I have a cold in da dose,which is running prolifically atm ,sorry tmi, but they seem to have calmed down overnight as I woke to 6.4 with a rather nice flatfish .
I also had a lovely long sleep, well long for me 5 hours straight through , I only woke up when I did because my bladder started complaining very loudly.
I hope you all have a good day.
A large mug of Nescafé Is calling, I will catch up later.
6.8 this morning, but I had a really nasty reaction to peanut butter yesterday,tingling of the tongue started before I had finished eating,mother roof of mouth, lips etc, slight swelling of this area, tight chest, took a anti-histamine, luckily did not progress into needing to call paramedics. Had a nasty headache for a few hours after the symptoms subsided. So I guess no ore peanut butter for me.
Morning on this sunny but breezy day. A big, bad 7.4 ( for me), curry and rice last night. It was worth every extra point. Did nowt yesterday as promised, and I felt lethargic all day, so after brekkie we’re off out for a couple of hours walk. Like @Bloden I'm not good at “chillaxing” it doesn’t agree with me. Have a smashing a Sunday and let’s hope that the rain stays away. Mainly because the grass desperately needs cut! 🙂
6.7 today, slightly better. Had welcome back party at the caravan site last night. Special guest - Chicco, I did laugh, he was ok and the kids loved him, he was very good with them. Couple of other very good acts, nice evening. Back home today but nice break. Have a good all, stay warm x @Grannylorraine glad you’re ok this morning and you got some antihistamine in you quickly. Had frantic dash to hospital with my mum when she suddenly became allergic to mushrooms, was extremely scary. Stay away from that peanut butter
Good morning 8.2 still higher than expected so one more unit of each Basal dose. 🙂 Bought a shoe rack yesterday so will build that up today which will stop me falling over said shoes in the bedroom.🙄 Weather was glorious until I stirred from the pit then it went dark and started weathering profusely,😡 suns back out for now but me thinks not for long.
Congratulations on another HS @Anitram sorry about the match, so close.🙂
Wise choice with the antihistamine @Grannylorraine glad you feel better.🙂
Have a good day folks might wander out for a few hours, stay safe take care. 🙂
5.8 for me today
Late posting, but I was up early (honest!) - but it looked like great out in the garden with sunshine and not too cold. So have had some lovely fresh air, garden looks tidier, lots of bird song and a cheeky Robin telling me quite loudly that I was invading his territory. Has definitely improved my feel-good factor.
Hope everyone else is having a good day.
Very late posting today. I couldn’t believe my BG this morning. I had a steady level all night and woke up to 4.9 despite my dinner last night being a baguette, crisps, cheeses, meats and pate. My gastroparesis was being nice to me and my bolus was extended by six hours for the meal with no upfront Bolus.
