Quick update, haven’t read any posts, I have phuemonia in both lungs! Worse on left. Just had blood tests for ketones, CV19 etc. No ketones in urine. Waiting in A&E to get admitted for antibiotics in a drip etc.

Thinking of you and hope you can be treated very quickly and successfully, stay in touch. Take care xx
 
Excellent news @Lanny Such a relief to hear it. Hope the ABs kick in and you are feeling much better soon. X
 
Just home & having soup before bed. Hosp. Says no insulin tonight. I didn’t know how much Novorapid to take with tea & toast around 20:30 as I’d upped them all day yesterday & reached 40 units Novorapid with dinner! Still 15.9 2 hours after & corrected all night until I got it down to 7.5 early this morning & slept. I will keep a close eye on the meter for doses while on antibiotics & getting better. My toes will be hopping but, I’m relieved! I know what’s wrong now & it’s being sorted! 🙂

Edited to add:- Oh yes! Ketones of 0.1 in my blood & I’ve asked for some means to test ketones at home from GP online prescriptions order form. Will hopefully get something tomorrow. Will ring chemist in the afternoon: sometimes it takes 48 hours? Blood test strips & meter for it, if possible or, at least urine strips.

Hope they’re looking after you well and you’re starting to improve. Take care

Strike that I’ve just read further down posts and I’m delighted to see you’re home. They obviously took good care of you🙂
 
05:20 BS 10.6 🙂 OK considering I had no Novorapid last night for tea & toast, in hospital, & chicken & vegetable soup when ai got home. Just 20 units Levemir around 1am after the soup before bed. Hosp. said don’t risk going hypo overnight as insulin needs should go down now & start in the morning. So, I’m surprised it’s not any higher.

Got about an hour’s sleep but, felt the change immediately as I hadn’t realised how bad my breathing had gotten when horizontal lying in bed when I had no problems breathing last night. Sometimes bad things creep up on you slowly & you don’t notice how bad things have gotten!

An early Good Morning to you all!😉 Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts & messages!😛:D😎😉

I’ll have breakfast now & start conservatively with Novorapid, all the way back down to 20 units, & start from there going by the meter. Also, first antibiotics tablet this morning: 1 twice a day in morning & evening for 7 days!

Have a Wonderful Day everybody!😉😎:D😛
 
Morning all and and Extra Special good morning and welcome back to @Lanny !!
So pleased you are back home and with medication that will hopefully sort you out.
A bit of a day yesterday I think...

For me a 5.7 this morning.

Happy Saturday
Blessings Snowwy
 
Glad to hear you got treated quickly and hope you're feeling better soon @Lanny
4.8 for me this morning 🙂
My mission should I choose to accept it is "get some of my daily allowance of exercise and collect a prescription on the way back." Think I can manage that OK. :D

Stay safe y'all

Moning All & Morning @Lanny welcome back ,

Yet another 7.1 today, it’s getting boring now, no movement at all, hey ho 🙄 . Car passed the MOT yesterday which is good news.
Brilliant card from my friend yesterday which I wanted to share with you, my friend knows me so well.

6.1 this morning and meeting a friend in the park later for a socially distanced coffee (Pret is open).
 
Morning

Well it's a 5.3 for me after a VERY strange day yesterday, really have no idea wth is going on atm but hopefully whatever it is settles down as I'm tired of everything :(

Ordered a repeat prescription online yesterday to realise after sending it I hadn't unticked Tresiba and I'm not needing it so called the health centre and the woman was going to remove it for me

Anyways I've nothing on today apart from freaking out as it's mum's weekly Lidl trip

Stay safe and take care my lovelies
xx
